Good things come to those who wait.  

Really?

I think that needs a tweak.  

How about…

Good things come to those who work.

Change three letters = huge impact.

Waiting’s ok. I agree that patience is a virtue.  

But honestly, how long can you keep waiting for something to change when you know the secret is to get on and do the work? 

I’m fundamentally lazy. I need to create projects, ideas, tools and techniques to encourage me to take action.  

Here are five ideas I have front of mind.

I hope they create some sparks and excite you about doing the work: 

Learning and Growth Opportunities: 

Work provides a platform for continuous learning and skill development, allowing you to expand your knowledge and expertise. 

Creativity and Innovation: 

Many jobs involve creative problem-solving and innovation, allowing you to express your ideas and find novel solutions. It could be argued that there is nothing like hard work to develop your creativity.  

Personal Accomplishment: 

Completing tasks, projects and goals at work can bring a sense of achievement and pride, boosting self-confidence. 

Making a Difference: 

Many jobs contribute to making a positive impact on individuals, communities, or even the world at large, providing a sense of purpose and fulfilment. There’s nothing quite like saying, ‘I did that’.  

The Money! 

If you add value you’ll be paid. 

Provide a lot of value and you’re paid… more!
