Your Job Determines Your Market Value<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most people\u2019s resumes are filled almost completely with job descriptions and work experiences.\u00a0 Their job security and personal market value is almost completely dependent on what opportunities their employers had let them have.\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way \u2013 if you can remove work experience and still have a compelling resume, you win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Your Biggest Source of Negative Stress Is Your Job<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Owning your time and owning your money is one thing.\u00a0 Owning your emotions is quite another.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in a situation when you\u2019re waking up in the morning in a cold sweat with the thought of going to work or hate going to sleep knowing that waking up means going back, your job has infiltrated your emotions.\u00a0 It\u2019s just work, it shouldn\u2019t have to be that big of a deal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. You Talk About Work All The Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What percentage of your day-to-day conversation is focused on job-related topics?\u00a0 At the bar are you talking about how much your job sucks?\u00a0 At home are you talking to your girlfriend about the project you\u2019re in the middle of?\u00a0 Sometimes just diversifying our conversation topics can open up our world and loosen our job\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. You Keep Deciding Not To Do Things You Want<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all had to tell a friend we can\u2019t hang out because we have a work conflict.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It may be an issue if it happens frequently.\u00a0 If you start to become the person who is known to be super busy at work all the time who probably can\u2019t make it to things, then your job probably has too much control over your life.\u00a0 It may be more of a priority in your life than you\u2019d like it to be.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. You Can\u2019t Wait to get a Certain Promotion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A driving motivation for most people to succeed at work is to get a promotion.\u00a0 Not just any promotion, but that certain level in the corporate ladder where everything will be better.\u00a0 We all have to go through hard knocks before we get to the good stuff, after all.\u00a0 But if a work promotion starts becoming the door to happiness and freedom in your mind, then your job starts owning your ambition and starts owning your goals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. You Cannot Wait For Retirement So You Can Start Living<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a bizarre world when most peoples\u2019 main motivation to work is to eventually stop working.\u00a0 Retirement is the end goal for many folks.\u00a0 When that\u2019s the mindset, it\u2019s almost like admitting that your job owns your life until you\u2019re almost 60 years old.\u00a0 Work should be an element of your life.\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t be your life.\u00a0 It shouldn\u2019t delay your life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. You Have to Be At Work Even If You\u2019re Not Productive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So you\u2019re at your desk at work and you have nothing to do.\u00a0 You\u2019re reading Google News and watching YouTube and just generally killing time.\u00a0 Even though you\u2019re not productive, you still have to be there.\u00a0 In theory, the reason you should be at work is to contribute to making your company money or making your company more efficient.\u00a0 When work owns your time by forcing you to be productive, that\u2019s bad.\u00a0 When your work owns your unproductive time too, that\u2019s worse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. You Check Work Emails\/Voice Mails\/Texts After Work Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you leave work do you actually leave work?\u00a0 Or does it follow you home?\u00a0 If work owns some of your life, have you found a way to keep it trapped in it\u2019s own box, or are the lines between your career and personal life blurring?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. You Learned Anything Valuable Since School<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the last useful skill or important piece of information you\u2019ve learned?\u00a0 What\u2019s the last thing you\u2019ve done to meaningfully improve your capabilities?\u00a0 In your career if you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re consistently improving skills, learning valuable new information, and becoming a more valuable person, then your job may not be letting you grow.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the parts of your life, it\u2019s your personal and professional growth that you should never let your job control.\u00a0 You should do everything to own that.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not getting the opportunity to grow at your workplace, you need to find a different job or strike out and learn new skills and information on your own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Life is Yours to Own<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The simple truth is that the majority of people are owned by their job.\u00a0 At the same time, most people don\u2019t realize it because being owned by your job is common.<\/p>\n<p>This article isn\u2019t meant to be doom and gloom.\u00a0 It\u2019s meant to challenge you.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve decided that your job has too much control over your life then it\u2019s time for you to change that.\u00a0 But it\u2019s completely up to you.\u00a0 Your life is yours to either own or rent out to your employer.<\/p>\n<p>So you have a couple of decisions to make.\u00a0 First, decide if you comfortable with how much your job owns you?\u00a0 Second, decide what are you going to do to change it?<\/p>\n<p>Go out and reclaim your life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joey teaches people how to improve themselves while getting paid to do it (that sexy intersection of personal development and online business) over at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.findyourdamnpurpose.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.FindYourDamnPurpose.com<\/a>.\u00a0 If that sounds interesting, check it out by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/findyourdamnpurpose.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">&gt;&gt;Clicking Here Now&lt;&lt;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Forget To Follow PickTheBrain of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/pickthebrain\">Twitter<\/a>!<em><strong> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickthebrain.com\/words-that-overcome-fear-and-dread\/\">Words That Overcome Fear and Dread<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickthebrain.com\/words-that-heal-and-empower\/\">Words That Heal and Empower<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If You\u2019re An Employee, Your Job Probably Owns You<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, as much as we want to be defined by our family, friends, hopes, and dreams, in the real world we are largely defined by what we do for a living.
