You know those times in life when you have to do something you really don’t want to? Maybe it’s some seemingly irrelevant analysis in excel, or a 5 hour drive with someone you’re not super fond of.
We all have lots of things in our lives that aren’t very fun. And, in entrepreneurship, that is probably even more true. Many times founders are the ones doing the grunt work up until the company hits a certain point. This could mean doing data entry for a lead gen project, or washing the dishes someone left in the sink. The glamorous lives of startups!
In fact, a lot of a founder’s day is stuff they have to do. Write an eBook, send a newsletter, do a demo, follow up with all the people you met at the event last night, check in on an existing customer…the list goes on and on. And, honestly, sometimes it’s super overwhelming. Sometimes you’re thinking to yourself “there are so many things I HAVE TO DO!”
A “Get to” Attitude
If I was smart, the title of this article would be “the one change that will make you so much happier at work.” I really think with a slight change in perception, things get a bit more fun and exciting.
Instead of a “I have to do this” mentality, you should be adopting an “I get to” do this attitude! You don’t HAVE to do that excel analysis, you GET to do it and are now more facile with excel, gained insights into whether or not it’s worth it to do the analysis, got to challenge yourself a bit (even if it’s just to see how fast you can do it), etc.
Adopting a grateful mindset is a proven way to be more happy. If you don’t think this is true, I challenge you to spend 2 full minutes right now thinking about the things you are grateful for and really think about them. Even if it’s as simple as “I’m so grateful for a warm cup of coffee” or “I love how this pair of sweatpants feels” it will make you happier almost instantly.
The Sports Analogy
I remember watching an interview with Charlie Rose and Gary Player a while back. Gary is an incredible golfer and Charlie asked him why he was so good. Gary responded that he enjoys the challenge of being in a bad situation.
This means that when Gary hits his ball into a bunker, his attitude is not “damnit, now I have to figure out how to get this ball out of the bunker and not overshoot the green or else I’m going to lose this tournament!” No, his attitude is something more like “Ok, now I get to challenge myself. I get to figure out this problem, and get better at figuring out these sorts of problems from here on out.”
Startup Life
Obviously, this “get to” attitude is tough to internalize. This is especially true if you’re working 100 hours a week as a resident, or an ibanker, or whatever. It’s also tough as an entrepreneur who’s focused so closely on building a company while not straying too close to the sun.
However, I think it’s an awesome way to get over the nature of work – which is that a lot of it kind of sucks and no one wants to really do the hard things. But that right there is a reason to do them – you’re doing the things no one else wants to do, and therefore are gaining an advantage on your competition. Or, maybe your rational is that you get to provide for your family, or get to gain a new skill, or get to live in the first world where we have so many advantages.
Whatever you do with your days – whether it’s golf or entrepreneurship – try out a “get to” attitude, especially when you find yourself overwhelmed with what you have to do. I hope it brings you more satisfaction and happiness in whatever it is you’re pursuing.
As a disclaimer, someone in my travels framed this “get to” attitude for me – it’s how they try to live their life. I totally forget who and in what context, but they deserve any credit for this idea which has stayed in my brain ever since.
Hi there, everything is going perfectly here

I was able to find good information from your blog posts.
Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any tips and hints for newbie blog writers?
I’d certainly appreciate it.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself
or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over
the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to
help stop content from being stolen? I’d
truly appreciate it.
This site certainly has all of the information and facts I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.

Hibiskus, roter Mohn und Oleander mischen sich hierbei satten Wiesengrün und dem azurblauen Meer zu herrlichen Farbkompositionen. In den Bergregionen der Serra de Tramuntana gibt es schattige Wälder mit Steineichen und Weißkiefern, in denen die vielzähligen Stimmen der artenreichen Vogelwelt zu vernehmen sind.
Zeitweise können auf der Insel bis zu 300 verschiedene Vogelarten beobachtet werden. Das
Inland ist flach und geprägt von weiten Feldern, verschlafenen Städtchen und idyllisch gelegenen Bauernhöfen. Diese Region zieht sich über die zerklüfteten Klippen der Halbinsel Cap Formentor,
bis hinunter zum wunderschönen Sandstrand Playa de Muro an der Badia d’Alcúdia.
Umso mehr Naturliebhaber werden Freude daran haben die Landschaft der nordöstlichen Küste auf ausgedehnten Radtouren zu erkunden. Das Naturschutzgebiet S’Albufera, das größte Feuchtgebiet der Balearen, liegt zwischen Port d’ Alcúdia
und Can Picafort und lässt sich ausgezeichnet auf zwei Rädern erkunden. Entlang der felsigen Küste hat man den besten Blick auf das Mittelmeer.
Wenn du die wildromantische Landschaft erleben möchtest, solltest du dich auf die Pollença Fahrradtour begeben.
Pretty nice post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say
that I’ve truly loved surfing around your blog posts.
In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I am hoping you write once more soon!

Hey! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My blog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme
or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!
Great information. Lucky me I came across your site by accident (stumbleupon).
I’ve saved it for later!
I’m extremely impressed with your writing talents as smartly as with the layout for your blog.
Is this a paid subject or did you modify it yourself?
Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it’s rare to peer a great weblog like this one nowadays..
I have read so many articles concerning the blogger lovers but this post is genuinely a good article, keep it up.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the
same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
Stunning quest there. What occurred after?
Take care!
Zusätzlich bestimmt das Kabel die Reichweite – ist es
nicht lang genug, muss der Staubsauger an einer anderen Steckdose angeschlossen werden. Beim Akkusauger treten diese Probleme des Saugens nicht
auf. Er besteht aus einer verstellbaren Saugstange ohne einen sperrigen Korpus und Kabel.
Treppen stellen jeden Bodensauger vor eine Herausforderung.
In beiden Fällen bietet der Akku-Staubsauger mit leichtem tragbarem
Korpus mehr Flexibilität und eine einfachere Handhabung.
Bei kabelgebundenen Staubsaugern ist der Saugschlauch zumeist nicht sehr lang, sodass höher gelegene Stellen nicht oder nur schwer zu erreichen sind.
Wie gut reinigen Akku-Staubsauger den zu saugenden Bereich?
Die Saugleistung der Akku-Staubsauger wird von den kabelgebundenen Bodenstaubsaugern übertroffen. Akku-Staubsauger haben nicht nur Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Bodenstaubsaugern, sondern bringen auch Nachteile mit sich,
die hier gegenübergestellt werden. Kabelgebundene Staubsauger können beliebig lang auf
beliebig starkem Saug-Modus benutzt werden, während die Laufzeit des Akkusaugers umso mehr bei hoher Saugstufe stark begrenzt ist.
Viele Akku-Staubsauger halten im stärksten Saug-Modus nur wenige Minuten durch.
Manche Modelle haben eine Laufzeit von nur 10 Minuten, was meist nicht ausreicht, um den gesamten Haushalt zu säubern.
I was able to find good information from your blog posts.
Spot on with this write-up, I truly believe this website needs much more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read through
more, thanks for the advice!
What’s up to every body, it’s my first go to see of this web site; this website contains remarkable and really good stuff in favor of visitors.
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before
but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer
for your site. You have some really great posts
and I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to
take some of the load off, I’d love to write some articles for your blog
in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an e-mail if interested.
Thanks!
Das Maori Tattoo oder traditionell auch ta moko genannt, gehört zu den beliebtesten Tätowierungen schlechthin. In letzter Zeit
liegen solche Tätowierungen sogar wieder ziemlich im Trend.
Sowohl Männer als auch Frauen mögen diese Art
Tribal Tattoos und lassen sie sich oft auf unterschiedlichen Körperstellen stechen. Heutzutage unterscheidet sich selbstverständlich die
Tätowierungsmethode wesentlich von der traditionellen, die in Polynesien und Neuseeland
von den einheimischen Stämmen eingesetzt wurde.
Trotzdem möchten wir an dieser Stelle schon ein paar
Worte über die uralte Tradition des Maori Tattoos verlieren.
Welche sind überhaupt die Maori? So wird eigentlich das indigene Volk Neuseelands genannt, das ursprünglich aus Polynesien kam.
Niemand kann ganz genau den Zeitpunkt nennen, als
die Maori zum ersten Mal ihren Fuß auf die Küste Neuseelands gesetzt
haben. Fakt ist aber, dass dieses Volk eine intakte Kultur hatte, die reich an einzigartigen Sitten und Bräuchen war, welche
für Europäer ganz unbekannt und unverständlich waren. So ein Ritual war
nämlich das Tätowieren.
Good info. Lucky me I discovered your website by chance (stumbleupon).
I have book-marked it for later!

how could we communicate?
In Italien werden die Einschränkungen Diskontinuierlich zurückgenommen. Einen Spanien-Urlaub an der Zeit
sein für den Frühsommer noch nicht buchen. Buffets in Hotels sind verboten. Buchungen für den Zugang zu Strandbädern sollen verhindern, dass die Menschen zu dicht
aneinander in der Sonne braten. Mallorca und die
anderen Urlaubsinseln können aber darauf hoffen, vielleicht doch
ein bisschen früher eine beschränkte Zahl von in- und ausländischen Besuchern empfangen zu dürfen. Desinfektionsmittel müssen überall bereit stehen. Es gebe eine Arbeitsgruppe, die über ein solches Pilotprojekt spreche, hierbei man erste Erfahrungen sammeln wolle, bestätigte Verkehrsminister José Luis Ábalos.
Die Regierung in Madrid bekräftigte, dass man frühestens
ab Ende Juni mit einer weitgehenden Grenzöffnung für
Touristen rechnen könne. Selbst den Spaniern werde es bis dahin verboten bleiben, in andere Regionen des Landes zu reisen.
Die Inseln setzen sich bereits lange für die Errichtung eines “sicheren Tourismuskorridors”.
Die Menschen, die trotz geschlossener Grenzen einreisen dürfen, weil sie in Spanien eine Erstwohnung haben oder eine Arbeitsstelle antreten,
müssen zwei Wochen in Quarantäne.
I like the valuable info you supply to your
