- 0:30Speaker 1: Has me that question? Guy always asking questions? I'm sure
- 0:35Speaker 1: I drove my parents crazy. It's because there's a lot
- 0:38Speaker 1: of fun when you start to research for answers. Is
- 0:41Speaker 1: it okay to just show up at work and just
- 0:45Speaker 1: do the basics whatever it takes to just get the
- 0:47Speaker 1: darn job done. Plus, who's keeping their job longer, the
- 0:53Speaker 1: visionary or the dependable one who just shows up to
- 0:57Speaker 1: do the basics. My name is Arrow. I'm a daily ride,
- 1:00Speaker 1: a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do
- 1:02Speaker 1: nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I happen to
- 1:05Speaker 1: call it the Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk
- 1:08Speaker 1: through an everyday world. It is my morning writing as
- 1:11Speaker 1: a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We as people tend
- 1:14Speaker 1: to throw things to the side because we think we're
- 1:17Speaker 1: going to do something with it later on. Well, when
- 1:19Speaker 1: a subject arrives inside of me, it is time to
- 1:22Speaker 1: dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
- 1:26Speaker 1: doing that research, the picture will become clearer. This is
- 1:30Speaker 1: the daily mess when it comes to your job. Is
- 1:35Speaker 1: it okay to want to do nothing but just get
- 1:38Speaker 1: the work done nothing else. It sounds like a beautiful
- 1:41Speaker 1: work of art for department managers and higher ups who
- 1:44Speaker 1: are really trying to stretch their neck out there these
- 1:46Speaker 1: days get people who just get the job done. But
- 1:52Speaker 1: is that a smart plan? Well, it depends on what
- 1:55Speaker 1: you want out of your job. There are two different
- 1:58Speaker 1: layers to deal with here. The baseline expectation, that's what
- 2:03Speaker 1: you're paid for. Let's break that down. There's nothing wrong
- 2:07Speaker 1: with wanting to focus on just getting the job done.
- 2:12Speaker 1: How many of us look at the expectations then shrug
- 2:15Speaker 1: our shoulders and say, eh, it's just another job, not
- 2:18Speaker 1: a career. Plus, we have those on the work site
- 2:23Speaker 1: that put a lot of interest in value. That is
- 2:26Speaker 1: the home life of a great workplace. Value workplace balance.
- 2:32Speaker 1: The idea of climbing the company ladder isn't really part
- 2:35Speaker 1: of your game plan. Layout, keep in mind, the majority
- 2:39Speaker 1: of all jobs do not reward their employees for going
- 2:44Speaker 1: that extra mile. So why you're wasting the time, Because
- 2:47Speaker 1: if you really pull that lens back, who's looking good?
- 2:51Speaker 1: You or your boss? E? That's a tough one depends
- 2:57Speaker 1: and what kind of attention you want to get up next.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're digging deeper. The average worker doesn't know
- 3:05Speaker 1: what a team player is. Are you kidding me? Hey,
- 3:11Speaker 1: thanks for coming back to the daily mess. Is it
- 3:13Speaker 1: okay to put focus on just getting the job done?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Here's the part the average worker doesn't really know about
- 3:22Speaker 1: what is a team player. If your place of business
- 3:27Speaker 1: does have a reward program, it's usually shared with those
- 3:31Speaker 1: who bring visibility and innovation to the table. The rest
- 3:34Speaker 1: of them, Uh, no matter how hard they work, innovation, visibility,
- 3:40Speaker 1: what you got for me? Companies don't put you on
- 3:43Speaker 1: the back burner for the physical completion. Come on, it
- 3:46Speaker 1: was your job. This is what you were supposed to do.
- 3:50Speaker 1: People who do the minimum work keep their jobs longer.
- 3:54Speaker 1: What not the visionary those who get the job done.
- 3:58Speaker 1: It comes with a hit in the gut. Minimum workers
- 4:03Speaker 1: rarely get a raise or promotion. Oh but you'll ask
- 4:06Speaker 1: for it. Won't you. You are unbelievably reliable but not valuable,
- 4:11Speaker 1: like Tom Brady. If you want stability, your daily effort
- 4:15Speaker 1: should focus in on making what you do valid. If
- 4:20Speaker 1: it's growth, you want, do something beyond checking the box.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Learn to create solutions while improving your process, which leads
- 4:28Speaker 1: to progress. If your job doesn't have a reward system,
- 4:33Speaker 1: do the work and just go home. Never do your
- 4:36Speaker 1: job for free. If you want to do something there,
- 4:40Speaker 1: check in on the time clock. If they want you
- 4:43Speaker 1: to do something there, check in on the time clock.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Make sure it's coming out of their pocket and not
- 4:48Speaker 1: your personal time. I'm Marrow, and that's the daily mess.
