Your Personal Services Company
It doesn't matter who signs your paycheck or what it says on your taxes, at the end of the day each of us works for our selves, to achieve our own personal goals.
Now, here's a scary question: What if everyone worked exactly as hard as you do? What if every police officer, every airline pilot, every accountant and every surgeon paid just as much attention to detail, put in just as much effort and cared just as much about their RESULTS as you do? What kind of world would we have?
Fortunately, most of This Months Thought readers work very hard, care a great deal, and can honestly answer, "IT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC WORLD!"
Some of us, however, know there is room for improvement. Around the margins, especially on our bad days, we do not work as hard or care as much as we might. Some days we do not "go the extra mile" or make that extra call. We do not do the "little things" that make all the difference.
This month, take a hard look at your own performance and give yourself an honest grade. If you are doing your best, congratulate yourself and honor that! But if you see a few things that could be adjusted to give you a slight "edge", take action! Change them! Over time, it's those "little things" that make all the difference.

In his seminars, Brian Tracy often asks the audience to raise their hands if they are self-employed. At first, about half the audience typically raises their hands, and he asks the question again and again until, eventually, everyone gets the "trick." We are ALL "self-employed."
