I don’t believe the adage that “good things come to those who wait.” It’s true that “good things” come to those that are diligent, put for the effort, and create the results. There is nothing more satisfying than finding a niche in which to excel and utilize my skills and knowledge to bring value to people’s lives. When there is no longer an exchange as to where I can provide more value than is expected for reasonable compensation, I feel my goal has been accomplished. This is when it’s time to discover the next journey in my life to add value. It’s been said best by the character, Francisco D’Anconia, in the book Atlas Shrugged: “Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason; it demands that you buy, not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that your money can find. And when men live by trade—with reason, not force, as their final arbiter—it is the best product that wins, the best performance, the man of best judgment and highest ability—and the degree of a man’s productiveness is the degree of his reward.” The greatest reward is knowing I’ve done all I can to help others grow. Through coaching, education, and leadership, I have found this reward many times over. As a perpetual student, I am always learning and growing to better myself and the value I provide to others along the way. Many times my tenure with organizations has been short. I find where I can create the greatest impact in the organization and move to the next challenge. While I would love to stay with a company for as long as possible, it is completely determined on the availability of continuous growth. Anthony Robbins said it best that we can only be one of two things: growing or dying. For me, I choose to always be growing; always be reaching for that next level; always be pushing myself to be more than I ver thought I could. Then, sharing that journey with people that are looking to do the same.
