No matter what your work is, it means something to someone.
Think of what you are getting paid and why someone would pay you to do the work. It is because it means something to those above you and to the end customers who use whatever you supply.
Do you believe everyone needs to praise you every day? That would get old fast. You do your work because you see positive results from it. The company’s bottom line is good things for the end users and good for you (a paycheck.)
Even the worst jobs have something meaningful you can take pride in and strive to do better with.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
