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.
This design is steller! You obviously know how to
keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost
moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!
Andererseits will ich keine Putzfrau und finde eine saubere Wohnung trotzdem grandios.
Und die Saugroboter können mir teilweise gründlich das unbeliebtesten Haushaltsaufgaben abnehmen.
Zwar fängt man ganz schnell an, an den Putzergebnissen rumzumeckern und sich selbst als besseren Saubermenschen hinzustellen. Das
hätte ich so nicht erwartet. Der Kampf Mensch gegen Maschine ist
dann doch ein einsamer Frage des Selbstbewusstseins.
Aber nach schon ein paar Tagen genießt man einfach allenfalls noch das großartige Gefühl, in eine geputzte Wohnung zu kommen, ohne dafür einen Finger gekrümmt hat keinen abgekriegt.
Ich bleibe auch bei meiner Ansicht, dass Saugroboter eine Detaillösung
für das Problem „selbstbestimmtes Leben im Alter” sein könnten. Und darauf sollten wir uns sowieso einrichten. Wer sich das noch nicht eingestehen möchte, schaut mal in unseren Akku-Handstaubsauger Test. In unserem großen Staubsauger-Artikel findet ihr einen Überblick zu allen Putzteufel-Geräten. Davon abgesehen befeuern die Roboputzer auf schönste Weise unsere Faulheit. Und ganz ehrlich, damit kann ich hervorragend leben.
Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or
guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog based upon on the same topics you discuss and would really
like to have you share some stories/information. I
know my audience would enjoy your work. If you’re even remotely interested,
feel free to send me an email.

Das Material des Randprofils und das Polyisobutylen müssen den Randverbund
gegenüber Füllgas, Umgebungsluft und Wasserdampf abdichten. Nach
der Befüllung des Scheibenzwischenraums mit Gas wird diese Fuge zwischen dem um etwa 3 mm eingerückten Abstandhalter
und den überstehenden Glaskanten mit pastösem Polyurethan, Silikon oder speziellen Polysulfiden gefüllt.
Bei Fassadenelementen, die hüben dem UV-Licht ausgesetzt sind, wird
meist schwarzes Silikon statt Butyl, Polyurethan oder Polysulfid verwendet,
das allerdings deutlich gasdurchlässiger ist. Der Rahmen aus Abstandhalter-Profilen wird
etwas kleiner gefertigt, als die Glasscheiben, dadurch, dass nach dem Einkleben des Glashalters eine
U-förmige Fuge zwischen den Glasrändern verbleibt.
Hier kann etwa eine Weichmacherwanderung oder ein Kontakt mit schädlichen Ölen oder anderen Stoffen stattfinden. Problematisch sind Unverträglichkeiten zwischen den Dichtstoffen, die zur Eindichtung
der Isolierglasscheibe im Fensterrahmen oder als Dichtung des Stoßes zwischen zwei Scheiben verwendet werden, und
den Dichtstoffen im Randverbund. Ebenso können auch schädliche Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Kunstoffmaterial der Verglasungs-Klötze
und dem Randverbund auftreten, insbesondere, wenn die
Klötze Styrolverbindungen enthalten.

I am sure this article has touched all the internet viewers, its really really good piece of writing on building up new web
site.
Asking questions are genuinely pleasant thing if you are not understanding anything
fully, but this piece of writing gives good understanding even.
I know this site presents quality based content and extra information, is
there any other web page which presents such stuff in quality?
It’s awesome to pay a visit this web page and reading the views of all friends on the topic
of this piece of writing, while I am also eager of

Ein ordnungsgemäßer Beleg muss teilweise für steuerliche Vergünstigungen vorgelegt
werden. Ein Notbeleg kann diese Voraussetzungen zerplatzen. Das Finanzamt kann verlangen, die Empfänger
der geltend gemachten Betriebsausgaben genau zu benennen. Betriebsausgaben werden unberücksichtigt,
wenn der Steuerpflichtige dem Verlangen der Finanzbehörde nicht
nachkommt, die Empfänger zu benennen. Der Finanzbehörde kommt dabei ein Ermessen zu,
von welchem sie in doppelter Weise Gebrauch macht.
Dies ist auch bei einer Vielzahl von Geschäftsvorfällen rechtmäßig.
Dann trifft es eine Entscheidung darüber, ob und inwieweit es Ausgaben, bei denen der Empfänger nicht benannt ist,
zum Abzug zulässt. Zunächst entscheidet das Finanzamt, ob es ein Benennungsverlangen an den Steuerpflichtigen richten soll.
Kassen- und Zahlungsbelege werden vielfach noch auf Thermopapier ausgedruckt
(z. B. am Postschalter, an der Tankstelle oder im Einzelhandel).
Insbesondere, wenn der Beleg intensiver Sonneneinstrahlung
ausgesetzt ist, verändert er sein Aussehen. Diese Belege haben einen Nachteil:
Sie haben keine lange Lebensdauer und verblassen nach relativ kurzer Zeit.
Die aufgedruckten Werte sind nicht mehr lesbar. Nachträgliche Änderungen sind nicht zulässig.
Auch diese Art von Rechnungen müssen über
den gesamten Aufbewahrungszeitraum die Anforderungen des § 14 Abs.
1 Satz 2 UStG – Echtheit der Herkunft, Unversehrtheit des Inhalts und
Lesbarkeit der Rechnung – erfüllen. Sollte die
Rechnung auf Thermopapier ausgedruckt sein, ist sie durch einen nochmaligen Kopiervorgang in nicht-elektronischer Form zu konservieren, das für
den gesamten Aufbewahrungszeitraum nach § 14b Abs. 1 UStG lesbar ist.
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a
little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free
platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused ..
Any tips? Many thanks!

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear. Grrrr…

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hello, Neаt post. Tһere is an issue along with your site in web explorer,

Die wichtigsten Merkmale des Staubsaugers finden Sie übrigens aufm Energielabel, mit welchem jeder
im Handel erhältliche Sauger im Warentest gekennzeichnet sein muss.
Das wichtigste Produktmerkmal ist sicher die sogenannte Energieeffizienzklasse.
Entscheiden Sie sich für einen Staubsauger neben anderen das Energieeffizienzklasse A, erwerben Sie ein besonders stromsparendes Modell.
Diese ist unterteilt in die Klassen A bis G, wobei A die beste Klasse ist.
Seit dem Jahr 2017 dürfen Staubsauger nurmehr mit einer Leistung von maximal 900 Watt Haben. Weitere Eckdaten, die Sie aufm
Energielabel auf einen Blick erkennen, sind die Teppich- und die
Hartbodenreinigungsklasse ebenso wie die Staubemissionsklasse.
Damit soll der jährliche Stromverbrauch auf maximal 43 Kilowattstunden gesenkt werden. Lassen Sie sich im
Vergleich also nicht von der Wattzahl täuschen: Nicht automatisch ist der Sauger mit
der größeren Wattzahl der Beste! Häufige Mängel und Schwachstellen – darauf muss ich beim Kauf eines
Staubsaugers achten! Schaut man sich die Kundenrezensionen auf Amazon an, scheint es tatsächlich Sauger zu geben, die trotz einer ordentlichen Leistung von 850 Watt nicht dazu
in der Lage sind, Krümel aufzusaugen. Wahrhaft ist es allzu ärgerlich, wenn man mehrmals über den Boden gleiten muss, um wirklich alle Staubkörnchen zu erwischen.
you’re actually a good webmaster. The web site loading speed is incredible.
It kind of feels that you’re doing any distinctive trick.
Furthermore, The contents are masterwork. you’ve performed a wonderful
process in this topic!
Neben detaillierten Beschreibungen zu den Inklusivleistungen und
zu Eurer Unterkunft bekommt Ihr in meinen jeweiligen Deals auch
Informationen zum Skigebiet sowie zur Umgebung. Bei deutschen Gästen sind selbstverständlich die Alpen in den Ländern Österreich, der Schweiz,
Italien, Frankreich sowie auch in Deutschland mit den vielen Wintersportgebieten und Regionen sehr beliebt,
aber auch beispielsweise in Tschechien und Kanada warten tolle Gebiete mit wunderbaren Bedingungen auf Euch!
Damit Ihr dennoch schon so einige Anhaltspunkte habt, habe
ich nachfolgend einige Empfehlungen für Euch zusammengestellt.
Garmisch Partenkirchen in Bayern, Kitzbühel in Tirol oder doch lieber ein Skigebiet im italienischen Südtirol?
Diese Frage lässt sich pauschal natürlich nicht beantworten, da es
immer auf Eure persönlichen Vorlieben und Interessen ankommt.
Klickt Euch durch meine Vielzahl an Deals und sucht bequem
das Skiurlaub Schnäppchen heraus, das am besten zu Euren persönlichen Wünschen passt.
Oder doch lieber einer ganzen Woche Urlaub unteilbar Wellnesshotel mit einige Tagen auf der Piste?
Ihr fragt Euch, welches Reiseziel oder Gebiet bei einem Skiurlaub am besten zu Euch passt?
Wie wäre es neben anderem mit einem Skiurlaub über 4 Tage inklusive Skipass oder gar Skikurs?
I’m really impressed together with your
writing talents and also with the format for your blog. Is that
this a paid topic or did you customize it your self?
Either way stay up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to peer a
great weblog like this one these days..
Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting to know your situation; many of us have created some nice methods and we are
looking to exchange strategies with others, why not shoot me an e-mail if interested.
You can certainly see your enthusiasm in the work
you write. The sector hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say
how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
