I Didn’t Want to Walk In
Summary
- I've worked in companies that made my life worse; it wasn’t the job, but rather a terrible boss that made me dread going to work.
- People think I'm lucky to have built a company I'm passionate about, but the truth is, my passion isn't about what I do—it's about how I do it.
- It's not about the type of work I do; my enthusiasm comes from the way I approach my work and who I work with.
- Even if I were running a garbage truck company, I'd find joy in it because it's all about the process and the people around you.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by focusing on "how" you do your work instead of just "what" you're doing. It doesn’t matter if the job doesn’t seem exciting. The key is to change your perspective and approach your work with enthusiasm and creativity.
A good way of doing this is by setting small goals each day that make your tasks feel rewarding. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or a small business owner, breaking down big tasks into smaller ones can give you a sense of accomplishment regularly.
Next, surround yourself with people who motivate you and bring positive energy to your work environment. If you're running a team, consider holding regular meetings where everyone shares what they’re working on and supporting each other's ideas. This encourages collaboration and makes daily tasks more enjoyable.
For personal growth, find joy in the process itself. Instead of focusing on the end goal, appreciate the journey of learning and improving. This mindset shift can make even the most mundane tasks more engaging.
Lastly, if you’re feeling like work makes your life worse, take a moment to identify what specifically is causing that feeling. Make small changes to your routine or environment to address these issues, like altering your workspace to make it more comfortable or finding ways to improve communication with others.
