Enjoy The Work You Do
Enjoy The Work You Do, And Do The Work You Enjoy With so many support services available to businesses and business owners today, there is practically no reason to dread coming to the office anymore. If you enjoy doing a particular task, do it. And farm out all those other jobs you find distasteful. You’d be surprised how much your mental health will improve. Maybe it was the scowl on my face, or maybe it was the fact that I had recently seen the movie, "Patch Adams," which revolved around the theme, "do the things you love to do." But concentrating on the tasks I truly enjoy suddenly occurred to me while I was at my desk doing the bookkeeping, a job I never relish. There’re a few other tasks I don’t enjoy either; accounting, invoicing, personnel record keeping. All are important elements of running my business, but none of those chores are why I invest my time and energy in Marketing Partners. What I do enjoy, pure and simple, is marketing. Whether it is marketing for clients, or marketing Marketing Partners, I enjoy it. I like the challenge of developing ideas to enhance a company’s marketing, creating effective marketing plans, implementing them, and tracking the results.

The bottom line is, you know why you started your business, and what keeps your embers burning today. Don’t lose sight of that. It is far too easy to get bogged down in tasks and chores you deplore, or just do for the sake of getting them done. Having those tasks awaiting you in the morning could make for a very long day, and maybe an unproductive week. So concentrate on that part of your business you truly enjoy doing. Leave the rest to professionals who really enjoy doing those tasks. (If it’s marketing you hate, I know someone who can relieve you of the burden.) You’d be surprised to find out how much more efficient you and your business can become, and how much more enjoyable going to work can be. Now, if I can only find someone who enjoys bookkeeping and accounting…
