Making Yourself Customer Number One

It can be a challenge. Our companies will typically raise the bar — asking us to to do more, with LESS resources.

We try to be people-pleasers, whether it’s:

  • Our boss…
  • Our company…
  • Our customers

But there is only one individual we need to please:

The #1 customer we need to please is ourself.

When you think about it, we are all entrepreneurs at heart.

When our employers hit us with those KPIs and performance standards, it’s important to find ways to:

  • Embrace them!
  • Live them!
  • Breathe them!

Ultimately, at the end of the quarter or end of the year, you will be meeting and exceeding these goals.

As a result, you will shine, stand out, and be the best you can truly be!
