Are You In a Job You Love?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Are you in a job you love? The statistics suggest you're probably not:

• 50% of people would change their job if they could.
• 24% say their job is uninteresting
  

One of my favorite areas to work with is sales and marketing clients. (Probably because I love being able to quantify the value of their contributions to their employers.)

If they're good at what they do, salespeople usually stay in their jobs until one of the following scenarios happens:

• They get bored with the product or service they're selling
• Something happens with the company (it's sold, or new management comes in, or it closes)
• Their boss decides they are too successful" and either takes away key accounts, divides up their territory, or reduces their commission/income potential.
  

A speaker at a professional conference once put it this way: "Just because you are good at it, doesn't mean you have to keep doing it."

Consider your priorities when deciding if now is the time to look for a new job:
Career, Community, Family, Financial, Mental, Physical, Social, and Spiritual.

If you don't love your job -- for whatever reason -- it might be time to consider a change.
