Loving Your Imperfect Job!

08/12/19

John Roccia

Do you want an absolutely perfect job?  Where you make tons of money, have no stress, only do exactly what you love and have complete security?  Don’t worry – Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are teaming up to deliver it to you on February 30th.  Or… if you’d rather find an imperfect job that you can still love, read on! “Perfect” Is The Enemy of “Great” When you get right down to it, all jobs fall into one of two categories:  Jobs that fill your needs, and jobs that don’t. The problem is that many people make the false assumption that only a tiny, tiny percentage of jobs fit that first category, and everything else falls into the second.  The reality is almost the opposite. The reason people tend to think this way is they view jobs as if they have to be perfect from day one.  They want their job to be like a beautiful piece of jewelry – perfect from the moment you take it out of the box and put it on, static and unchanging, made by someone else and fitting you exactly right.  Jobs aren’t like that at all! The better analogy is that a great job isn’t like a piece of jewelry; it’s like a gold mine. There’s a ton of value, but it’s not shaped specifically to you – yet. Your technique and effort will matter a lot to how much of that value you can personally capture.  It will always change, but the value will keep growing as well. If you’re turning down a gold mine because you’re waiting for the gold necklace to appear, you’ll be waiting a long time, and you’ll be unhappy while you wait. What does this mean for me? I’ve had many jobs I love.  I’ve even had jobs I would call “ideal.”  Even the ideal jobs probably contained roughly 70% activity that I wouldn’t describe as stuff I loved doing.  For every hour I get to spend coaching and helping people directly (the stuff I love and that gives me deep satisfaction!), there are probably three total hours on average of emails, research, meetings, and administrative tasks that I do in order to keep myself prepared for the “good stuff.”  I don’t love those things, but I recognize their long-term value; they make me a better coach, better at business, and better positioned to help the people I love helping. That’s all jobs.  So why don’t we feel that way? You see all the reality of your own job.  All the gritty details. When you look at other jobs – people on television, your friends on social media, etc. – you’re getting a highlight reel.  You’re getting a glimpse of the “good stuff” I described, but you’re not seeing the boring-but-essential support structure. Ever watch a legal drama on television?  That might give you the impression that a lawyer’s job is glamorous, all high-profile court cases and dramatic speeches. The reality is that it’s 95% contract review and other paperwork, but that doesn’t make for a good show. Does this mean I should just stay in my existing job, and not look for anything better? No way! It just means that when you’re looking to better yourself, you shouldn’t hold out for “perfect.”  You should aim for… well, “better!” Life is about incremental improvements, and if you’re always doing a little bit better than before, you’re in great shape. Many people are presented with many opportunities for something better, and they pass on them or don’t pursue them because the opportunity isn’t “perfect.”  Some people walk right by that gold mine because they don’t like the idea of picking up a shovel to start digging! Process of Elimination Enough theory and analogy – let’s get into actionable steps you can take to find a great job or career without getting in your own way. First, let’s examine the reasons many people eliminate opportunities from consideration.  Here is a list of common reasons I hear people not wanting to even consider a particular job: The job title isn’t glamorous enough/the job isn’t high-status. It doesn’t pay enough, and/or the non-pay compensation isn’t good enough. It’s too far from where I live. The workload is too intense/too many hours. It involves skills I don’t have. I’m not completely passionate about the work itself. Individually, any one of those is perfectly reasonable!  Now consider what you’re saying if you take all of them together, “I’ll only consider high-status, high-paying jobs with great benefits that are close to my home, aren’t difficult and are exactly aligned with my existing skillset and deepest passions.”  When you say it like that, it starts to sound like there aren’t many jobs out there for you, doesn’t it? The reality is, you need to prioritize your deal-breakers.  Think about much more reasonable versions of the above statement, such as, “I’ll only consider high-paying jobs with great benefits, but I’m willing to travel, work hard, and learn new skills in order to get one!”   Or perhaps, “I’ll only consider jobs that are relatively easy and have flexible schedules, but I’m willing to learn new skills and trade some salary for that benefit, which is the most important thing to me.” Your current job might not be giving you any of those things, so trading up is great!  But if you’re waiting for the “perfect” opportunity, you might be stuck in a bad job for a long time, when you could have been in a great one. Over time, you can make each new adjustment a positive one. Consider This Scenario: Instead of waiting for a “perfect” job that meets all those criteria above, you accept a job that you’re passionate about and has the status you want, but is lower pay, farther away, has an intense workload and involves skills you don’t have. After a few months, you’ve picked up those new skills, because you rolled up your sleeves.  So now the job no
