Austin Real Estate Scene

Jobs become routine and, I must say, I don't always think of how I can put love into taking out the trash. However, when I noticed, "Put love into every job you do" painted on the back of a semi-truck it made me pause and think. If a truck driver can put love into everything he does, then I can, too.

Putting love into everything you do will make a big difference. How often do you do a job with indifference, just going through the motions, and not caring; or worse, doing a bad job because you couldn't care less? There are many times when I am conscious of putting love into what I do. Those times are when I am doing tasks that I love to do like coaching or writing. I can't say that I put much love into accounting and bill paying. However, love should go into every task, even the ones that are not the favorites. To make bill paying more fun and to add some love, I write "Thank You" on every check I write. I also put stickers and use festive stamps when I mail my bills. Not a whole lot of love perhaps, but it is a start. It does remind me that, when I do put love into the task, I tend to enjoy it more.

Coaching Point

When I am experiencing a situation where I don't feel like the other person is engaged, like when I am shopping and the sales person acts like they don't care, I say, "I am not feeling the love." I won't do business with people when I feel like they don't love what they do and do not put any love into their job. Trust me! People know when you put love into what you do. Remind yourself how important it is to put love into every job you do, and you will see a big difference in how you feel about the job and how others respond to the job you do.

Coaching Question

Live the Day
