MENTALITY - Part 3 - Career


Careers are made dependent upon the type of MENTALITY that one possess. The average American has a job that they work from 8-5 and they only expect to produce during that time frame. When asked to work during anytime that does not fall within that timeline, we have come up with additional compensation package known as "Overtime!"  This compensation has taken out the, whatever it takes MENTALITY that it ultimately takes to turn a job into a career!
To dive a little deeper look at the difference between an hourly and salary employee. One is paid by the amount of hours worked and that in turn dictates the amount of responsibility that is bestowed upon that individual. They are normally the entry level type of employees who are just beginning with the company and not yet vested into the company. So this person would have a, what can the company do for me MENTALITY.
However, you could take that same employee, turn them into a manager or salary and all of a sudden they gain a, what can I do for my company MENTALITY.  This employee no longer needs the lure of the extra compensation package "Overtime" to motivate them to produce after hours or to develop their skill while not on the clock.  Thus a, whatever it takes MENTALITY is present and separates the leaders from the followers! The main difference and key ingredient can be found at the beginning of this MENTALITY series:
Count it all joy and in all ways acknowledge God for he is truly the author and finisher of our FAITH!
That's the third installment of the new MENTALITY series. See you later today for installment number four! Go get it MENTALITY!
