“Be so good they can’t ignore you.”
Steve Martin
Coaching Tip of the Week:
We live in a world often looking for the fast solution, the instant gratification, the get-rich-quick answer.
When asked what advice he would give people wishing to mimic his success, actor/comedian Steve Martin lamented that no one listens to his advice because it’s not what they want to hear.
“What they want to hear is ‘Here’s how you get an agent, here’s how you write a script,'” Martin replied to Charlie Rose, “but I always say, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.'”
This week, begin mastering your craft.
While you can’t necessarily control everything about your work or workday, you can control your effort, attitude, and approach. Always.
Ask yourself what would up-level your skills even more. Reading daily in your field? Hiring a coach? Taking a class? Attending a professional development event like Spark?
Take one step toward mastery this week. Start being so good that we can’t help but take notice!
