As I may have explained before I just recently lost my job to lay offs in the company I was work for that was going under. When we were reading the article this week it made me think of the person that I am, the person that always gets the job done. I was always taught to never quit and you always get things done in our family. Failure has never been an option for me in my life.
The entire reading to me focused on doing everything you can to be that person people can trust to get the job done and get it done right. I loved how is was put when the article said “The secret to such success lies not within the IQ that you were born with but with having the character and courage to accept a worthy mission and get the job done. If you want to live a life full of interesting challenges, focus on the action-oriented steps above until they become habits.” I want nothing more then to be that person who has a life full of interesting challenges. I want to know how I can continue to challenge myself and find those challenges daily.
For me one of the ways that I am going to do this is by starting in a position at a new startup company. This was an opportunity that presented itself when my boss at my old company met with me to offer me a new position. He offered it to me as a result of me always getting the job done. He rarely to never had to correct me on the jobs I was assigned and I was always the dependable one to get the job done. This idea of having this Rowan mentality has lead me already in my life to have so many great opportunities and I cannot wait to see where it leads me in the future. I want to be a name that is known to get the job done in all circles.
How can each of us find the interesting challenges that will continue to build our character regularly?
