I am the hardest working person I know. Yeah I know that sounds corny and dumb, but literally I work my butt off given the opportunity. I don't know a single person who can go to work 1/2 early and stay an hour late and call that the regular basis. I dont know people who go to the gym 2 times a day for a total of 5 hours.
I also do not know the answers to everything and I am completely fine with it. Some people get bothered when they don't know something, or their boss asks them a question with an unknown answer. I usually do not know the answer, but that's always okay with me because I know where to find answers, and solutions. I am a seeker of knowledge and I think that is a valuable skill.
I usually do not talk to a lot of people who I am not comfortable with. Yeah most people are like this, but I keep tight with my inner circle and stay polite with everyone on the outside. I think this minimized drama and keeps me in pace with my close friends and family.
I set goals. Most people do not set actual goals, they just fantasize about some dream and change their minds every few days or weeks. I know what I want and I am determined to get what I want. I set goals and deadlines adn think that separates me from most people.
I am the best visual learner I know. I cannot explain calculus but when I see a problem solved out I can duplicate it and show others how to do it without knowing myself. I just know how to copy cat really well, but make unoriginal ideas seem better than before!
Interviews ( soundbites people I will not put other people in front of a camera. Camera make ordinary people Douche-Ba$s)
This was my boss who thinks I am a hard worker. I usually do not impress people initially but over time people understand how hard I work at things.
Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How?
Well I personally see myself as a frikken god who can do whatever they want, but others not so much. Other people see the work I put in over time and respect me for the hard work I accomplish. If it were up too me I would just be in a gym all day and eating all night, but that would not accomplish anything. It think people see my frustration at work, but know that I am working hard even though my spirit is not their. These interviews helped me see that, and now I know I need to do a better job of being a little more cheerful at work.
Hi Stephen, sounds like you just need to find the balance of working hard and being a little more cheerful when you work. Your main ingredient seems to be that you're hard working, which is key to starting and running any business. Visual learning is a great quality to have, and really, what's the point in reinventing the wheel with your idea? Make your gym bigger and better than what's already out there! Your personal goal should be that others will see you as a "frikken god" ha ha. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteJoanne its like you "get it" no else does for some reason thanks
DeleteI really enjoyed your post Stephen mainly because instead of taking the general route of just talking about all the perfect positive things that make you different you made sure to point out a few of your not so great features that make you different. This really made your post relatable. Overall I think this you were specific about what makes you different and your explanation on your interviews were awesome. Here's my post. http://skylar219.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
