A Job Versus A Career There is an old joke among business owners that goes something like this: “Now that I'm my own boss, I can finally choose which 60 hours I want to work each week.” While it may be humorous, it is almost always true. Success never comes easy.

Why do successful business people so often work extra hours? Sometimes, it is because they simply have more to do (a business owner may wear many hats, for example). However, this isn't always the case. Successful salespeople almost always put in extra hours even though they aren't the owner. Why? Because they spend time improving themselves. And as our people know I always say, “Companies don’t just get better… it’s when people get better, one person at a time, that drives companies to get better.”

In fact, this drive to improve is a characteristic that successful people – whether they own a business or not – inevitably share. It is the difference between those who look at their day-to-day lives as a job, and those who choose to see it as a career. By seeing the big picture – a career as something to be built and developed – high achievers show an understanding that success is almost entirely a product of effort.

in the break room. Why succeed in business if you fail your family? The key is to succeed in both endeavors. Do this by finding fun ways to learn. For example, not everyone wants to read business books. Personally, I like magazines and web sites that provide helpful tips and plenty of laughs at the same time. That half-hour before bed when there's nothing on TV? That's a great time to check out some articles instead of tapping on the remote.

Once you get the hang of “getting better,” it gets easier – and people will notice. You'll be more confident. You'll have more to discuss with customers and coworkers. And you'll have an easier time attaining a leadership position.

It becomes obvious, after all, who is growing – and who is not.

Got some tips of your own for “sharpening the sword”? Please share them with me, and I will pass them on.

This doesn't mean you should ignore everything else and sleep on the couch
