Loving Your Work

A long time ago, I heard Jim Rohn talk about the necessityto "love your work, every single day." I've never forgotten that.

Jim was wise enough to make the distinction about "liking"your work every day. Very few of us are fortunate enough to enjoy every moment of every day on the job. Things go wrong. People get cranky. Sometimes, stress and tension and anxiety are life's way of telling us we are in the wrong line of work, or it's time to make some changes.

But those daily ups and downs are not the same thing as"loving" your work.

Ultimately, your financial success is the result of"loving" your work--nurturing it over time, going the extra mile, doing it right whether anyone is watching or not. Love means taking care of the details. Loving your work means investing in your customers, investing in tools and skills and resources. Ultimately, loving your work means investing in your own future.

Whatever your job, profession, or business, love and sustain it. Care for it and give it every chance to grow.There is no other path to ultimate, long-term success.
