3 ways to get more Sizzle and less Fizzle:

1. Don’t overwork:

As hard as it may be. Don’t overdo it. No one is going to give you a metal for never taking a vacation. When you don’t take enough time off, you burn out and your employer will appreciate you less. Taking time off will allow you to reboot, refresh and be more creative.

2. Think differently:

Question everything. In every situation ask, why?. Respectful curiosity will keep you engaged.

3. Give:

Give sincere compliments. Give extra time. Give of yourself without keeping score. The more you give, the more you get in return.

 

Of course this is not an exhaustive list, just a great place to start.

  1. Great post, Doug! Love that you include giving in this list. I feel most alive when I’m totally tapped out. Recently I’ve started including my son on trips to serve those in need. It’s been powerful and rewarding.

    1. Thanks Justin! Teaching our kids to be cheerful givers is one of the most important things we can do for them.
