Shocking study about work-related regrets
|
I should be more shocked… …but I’m not. A new report from Resume Now polled 1,000 workers across the U.S., U.K., France and Germany. Here’s the conclusion that came to: A staggering 66% of workers say they have work-related regrets. They were as follows: 1. Not asking for a pay increase — 60% 2. Not prioritizing work-life balance — 59% 3. Staying at a job too long — 58% 4. Not negotiation salary for a new job — 58% I don’t know if you can relate to any of these or not… …but I wish I was more surprised to hear this Because I work with high-level professionals on a weekly, daily, monthly basis…and this makes complete sense to me. Why? Because it’s easy. It’s easy to let your professional life push you around. Letting things happen to you is a lot easier than being the change that happens. The surprising thing about taking action — and being the change that happens — is how rewarding it is. When you quit your job and start up your dream business, you overflow with joy… When you create the right work-life boundaries, you (and your partner) swell with love… When you get the value you deserve in your organization (financially or emotionally or intellectually), you sink into fulfillment… Here’s my question to you — what’s that one thing? That one thing you know you should do, that you could do, that if you did do…would make your life a whole lot better. Whatever that may be for you, do it. Don’t push it off. Take action on it today — even if it’s the smallest of actions like sending an email. Just do it. (sorry didn’t mean to steal the Nike quote there, I couldn’t help myself) When you do your one thing, let me about it. Until then, enjoy your Wednesday. Dan P.S. Elite Performers is all about this — getting you what you want, how you want it. And this Monday, July 29th I’m opening the doors for 5 ambitious professionals to apply to join. Interested?

Torpedoes and airplanes. Understanding this one thing they have in common skyrockets your productivity almost immediately. What is it? Besides the fact that they’re made out of metal… They’re “off course” 90% of the time. Their job is to course-correct. You choose a target (or end destination) for them and they drive at high speeds toward it. …but they’re never fully “on-target.” The entire way they’re on the way to the destination… A system is running in the background, constantly correcting...
Quick question… How would your life change if you had a productivity professional in your pocket? Someone who has already ‘been there, done that’… And achieved exactly what you want to achieve in the most important areas of life? Shrink rays don’t exist (yet). …but I’ve got the next best thing. I can be in your “pocket.” If you have one hour a week… I’ll personally get you a 20% boost in your income by building you a minimalistic productivity machine while chopping your work hours in half —...
Who am I? That is a question I’ve been wrestling with recently. Not from a philosophical perspective. More so…who am I to you? Am I just some random guy in your inbox? Your go-to productivity strategist? Or something totally different… Like your favorite Portuguese friend? I didn’t know. Until I asked a professional turned business owner inside the Elite Performer Community — Stephen. And what he said surprised me… Stephen views me not just as a static person. Rather as someone who wears...
