  • Today's good idea comes from Gileaha Jones

  • she says: Hi Angela I've been at a job for four years that I absolutely hate.

  • I'm only there because I have bills to pay. Do you have any good ideas

  • for me to get through every day going to work?

  • Hi Gileaha, I honestly don't have enough

  • information to give you rock solid answer.

  • Do this - do that! I don't know why it is you don't like your job.

  • So, when you come to a question

  • that you don't have all the information for, you can always play the "what if" game -

  • goes like this: "what if tomorrow I can wake up

  • and I could go to a new job that pays better money,

  • has a better boss, better coworkers that don't bully me -

  • the rules and regulations of the company are to my satisfaction,

  • or whatever they are. When you start figuring out those

  • "what if's" a lot of times you will uncover

  • the real problem of why it is you don't like to go to work.

  • Now keep going. "What if...

  • I had to stay at my job for another four years?

  • What could I do differently that I'm not doing now

  • that would make my time there more enjoyable?

  • What if I could change the rules and regulations what would they be?"

  • "What if I still had to work with so-and-so at work that we don't get along with?"

  • Would I work through that relationship so that we can get along better?

  • I don't know, well once you play the "what if" game you'll starting uncovering a whole lot more of

  • the reasons why your job isn't working and what you might be able to do

  • to fix it, because if you can go and find a better job that meets

  • all those regulations- PRESTO! Go do that.

  • But if you can't, and you have to stay in your current job,

  • What can you personally do that's a little bit different

  • that will make your journey easier? "What if"

  • I'm telling ya, it's a good idea.

  • it's a good idea

Today's good idea comes from Gileaha Jones
