A Job Well Done

To really get proper satisfaction from your business, you must make your product or service worthwhile to the person you are serving in every way possible and preferably a little better than what they are maybe expecting.

When I think of the word satisfaction, that is what I think of: I do not think of doing the bare minimum or "getting by" when I do something. I think of going all out. The best is the best and you cannot win over your customers except by being passionate and different.

The most powerful satisfaction comes from "imaginative effort" in fact. That means finding new and better, more efficient ways of doing things, especially things you have a passion for. Combine that with doing something that needs to be done for pay, and you get genuinely and morally rich in so many ways. When I think of satisfaction and doing the job right, I think of improving and bettering the way the job is done and not just doing it correctly.

When you use your imagination to do a better job, you are not just selling widgets or working the shift anymore, you are a genuine professional making a job great. The weakest thing you can do, writing from experience, is to just do a job and then go home without making something better within the framework of the work in some way, or improving things.

In fact, hating your job or just doing it for the money is the most horribly poor thing you can do. Boxer Ken Norton taught me that one involuntarily about three decades before this was written. Just getting by or making a living without emotion or imagination is the most horrible way to live anyway, and the most impoverished. In that way of life, a lot of reality and potential is being wasted!

So, when I think of proper satisfaction, it is more than money. It is a genuine investment in every sense that counts, including emotionally and spiritually. Without that investment, it is just a job and you just get money or "enough to get by". 

Put everything into your business and make your customers’ experience the best it can be.  Focus on providing top quality products and service, not on the money.  If you provide the best service, then success and wealth will follow, but it’s the service you must concentrate on.  

Providing a great service will give you immense satisfaction which will spur you on to provide an even better service and your customers will come back for more and recommend you to others: the perfect Win-Win scenario!
