I have jokingly told people that everyone should have to spend one year in Full Commission Sales or own their own business.
This is the best way I know to develop a Work Ethic!
I was lucky when I got out of the Military that the only job that was offered to me was a Full Commission one.
This was a rude awakening from the security the Military provided to me.
Suddenly, I was Responsible for EVERYTHING!
The first 18 months of this were incredibly hard.
It took me that long to develop the Work Ethic necessary to succeed.
I had to deal with the Employee and Entitlement Mentality.
These Mentalities are a Cancer to your Calling and the 2 biggest reasons for a POOR Work Ethic.
The BEST thing that happened to me was being Forced into Full Commission sales and then becoming a Business Owner.
Having the right Work Ethic is worth its weight in Gold!
It is one of the MOST valuable qualities one can have, and unfortunately, it is a Rare Commodity.
The good news is that since so few make the choice to have a Good Work Ethic, you will be overwhelmed with opportunities!
Once I accepted responsibility for my Calling (Work), everything changed.
Within six months of my attitude and Work Ethic changed, my income went from $600 to $5,000 per month.
I still had the same job, same boss, same product, same team, and same clients.
A strong work ethic is an attitude we apply to our work that indicates a high level of Passion for what we do!
It is having a strong sense of determination and dedication to your Calling (Work).
These are some of the Characteristics of a Strong Work Ethic:
Passion
Hard Work
Dedication
Discipline
Efficiency
Productivity
Responsibility
Determination
Teamwork
Integrity
A Poor work ethic is an attitude that demonstrates a lack of ambition and professionalism in the workplace.
These are some of the Characteristics of a Poor Work Ethic:
Blaming
Complaining
Excuses
Procrastination
Lack of Responsibility
No Energy
Passive
Fearful

Tardiness
We get to choose every day of our lives what attitude we will have in the workplace.
A Good Work Ethic is the Foundation you will need to build your future and success.
