“To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love with your work.” —Mary Lauretta
It’s true! When you do what you love, you will never work another day in your life! How do I know this for a fact? It’s because that’s actually the story of my own professional life, and I want to share it with you here and now:
For almost 20 years, I have been the President of Medical Development Partners LLC. For the first several years, my team and I helped international medical device companies do their work abroad effectively; and then, for the past 16+ years I’ve focused on helping medical device professionals achieve their own personal and professional goals. Before that, I was president and CEO of Radi Medical Systems, Inc. – I loved that too, but helping my clients is even more satisfying.
First and foremost, I’ve always had the ability to choose who I want to work with. Second, I get to choose people whose core values are in alignment with my own core values. Finally, I work with people who I truly know, like, and trust. I love what I do!
Now, wouldn’t you like to get to choose who you work with every day?
It’s one thing to work hard each day, but it’s quite another to know at the end of a day that I’ve helped change people’s lives for the better. That really feels great! For example, just last month, I had the opportunity to present a webinar for The Medical Development Group (MDG) on the topic of “Networking in the New Year.” I was so happy to be able to share elevator pitches, networking strategies, and even how to use QR Codes to make it easy to connect with your ideal contacts – the presentation received some great feedback!
Several of you from the webinar subscribed to these Monthly Motivational Messages—and if that’s you, I want to welcome you and let you know I’m grateful that you’re now part of this community. Between webinars, motivational messages, and events, I really hope you get some good ideas that can help you to be a better networker—either in your workplace or if you are currently looking for work.
The topic for this month’s message is doing what you love. Maybe ask yourself, “Do I surround myself with people that I love?” If not, this is something you can easily do… Right Now 😀
=> February Tip- Since today is Valentine’s Day, reflect upon people who are special to you. Take a minute and write down a list with at least 5 people that you truly appreciate. Plan to send them an email, a voice mail or even a text in the next week.
February is the month for LOVE. Remember to love what you do, love your significant other, love your family, friends and kids, and finally, also love your fur babies. Sharing and receiving love—not just on Valentine’s Day, but every day—makes you a more balanced and caring person. Remember that Love is the answer!
With gratitude and best wishes!
