Success is not that hard to achieve, if youre willing to do some simple things. For example, there are two types of handymen: (1) Those who are neat and tidy; and (2) Those who are messy. The first type of person is rare, and the second, you can find anywhere. The neat one will not only clean up his work areas, but hell quietly haul away any debris, without charging an extra penny for this service. The messy one will leave everything askew, and will complain that you dont have enough trash can space. He'll also be likely to play loud music when he's working, to require a lot of hand-holding, and to generally get in your way. Given a choice, who will you willingly hire again? Its a no-brainer, right? And if youre like me, youll be so delighted with the neat and tidy one that youll actively think of things for him to work on, whether theyre priorities, or not. The successful handyman, or employee, contractor, or associate of any kind, isnt only being rewarded for this one positive trait that hes showing. Hes being rewarded for doing something extra, just a little more than hes being compensated for. Find a way of doing this consistently, and customers will always find you handy to have around! Then, success will be inevitable. |
