You Don’t Actually Hate Your Job
Summary
- I believe most people don't dislike their jobs; they dislike the people they work with.
- If I didn't like the people I worked with, I wouldn't be passionate about the business.
- Many think that finding a passion will make everything else fall into place.
- I found that if I find people I'm passionate about working with, it doesn't matter what the task at hand is.
- Whether it's trying to get on Mars like Elon Musk or making businesses more money, I'm equally excited because I love the people I'm doing it with.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a focus on team relationships. If you enjoy the people you work with, even challenging tasks will feel easier and more rewarding. Here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Get to Know Your Team
- Action: Spend time understanding their interests, strengths, and weaknesses.
- Outcome: Better collaboration and a sense of camaraderie.
2. Enhance Communication
- Action: Hold regular, informal check-in meetings.
- Outcome: Increases transparency and trust among team members.
3. Appreciate and Celebrate Wins
- Action: Recognize both small and big achievements publicly.
- Outcome: Boosts morale and motivation.
4. Foster Inclusive Work Culture
- Action: Encourage team members to share their ideas and opinions.
- Outcome: Enhances creativity and problem-solving.
5. Prioritize Team Activities
- Action: Organize team-building exercises or casual outings.
- Outcome: Improves team bonding and mutual respect.
A good way of doing this is to keep the atmosphere positive and supportive. Celebrate your team’s efforts, not just the results. This can be as simple as a shout-out during meetings or a quick message on your project management tool.
By making these changes, you’ll likely find that the tasks you need to accomplish become less daunting and more enjoyable. Whether you're working on a groundbreaking project or everyday business operations, the key is to build a strong, passionate team that you enjoy working with. This will not only improve your business outcomes but also make the journey more fulfilling.
