Many folks are desperately desiring change.

The job sucks.

Their boss sucks.

They have no time to do the things they want to do.

They see no path to get the things they need to create the change they think is possible.

Undoubtedly times are hard and finding or doing the optimum thing to make you happy is tough right now.

But what if we were able to put all that discontent aside for just a bit and focus only on doing the current job incredibly well.

In that time of intense focus, what might happen?

Could we find a new champion or advocate because of our passion and pursuit of doing great work?

Could we find some success that may have been elusive or hidden because of our frustration before?

Could we possibly have those who we may have been invisible to before sense the change that has occurred and wonder what might have caused that change?

In tough times, I bet about 75% of us are anxious to be doing something different because what is being done isn’t necessarily perfect or rewarding or appealing or affirming.

But if half of those 75% put that discontent aside for now and focus on going that extra mile to make themselves superstars in their current job and the company better because of their passionate work, then a majority of folks in any company at this current point in time would be pulling together to do something amazing.

That would be awesome.

And now is the time.
