Some time ago… in several companies… I functioned as an administrative type. I produced documents, edited documents, set up schedules, set up travel schedules, filed, faxed, and filled orders.
And I felt dead.
I’m not doing that any more.
Now, I work in the real estate business. It has its share of administrative stuff and guess what – I delegate most of it now. Instead of doing that stuff myself, I hand it off to people who enjoy doing it – who like the spreadsheets, the filing, the faxing, the setting up packets, etc.
I will make sure to dot my i’s and cross my t’s, it’s just not me to do the administrative work others enjoy and that frankly gives me headaches.
Instead of administrative stuff, I work more with people. Connecting with others, whether I agree fully with their opinions, life, habits, etc. is something that drives me to be my best and to do the best for them.
Don’t do what deadens you. Do what drives you!
