Your most important job

What is the most important job you have right now?

Pause and answer this before you read on.

Many of us have multiple jobs. Not all of them pay financial dividends. Other jobs pay us in peace of mind, respect and other intangible forms.

The most important job for some is their job as a lover. For others, it’s being a parent. And for some others, the most important job is one that pays the bills.

Many have done well in their jobs, creating value for shareholders while being miserable in their jobs as parents and lovers.

What do you need to be great at your most important job? How can each job you have now compliment the other?

What help do you need to be the kind of person that does well in the responsibilities that come with the job? What do you need to remove to make your most important job your most important job?

And finally, is this job worth doing, and why?

We can all get to a place where we hire ourselves to do the job that's only ours to do.

The good news is that we can always choose differently. And we can always change how important each job is now and the next season.
