How to Get What You Deserve

I have been interviewing guys for positions in our construction company and I’m starting to notice a pattern! 

I think it’s worth mentioning here because it relates to EVERYTHING: business, jobs, dating, and marriage.

We are not ageist, so we have been interviewing people of all age groups for the jobs. 

Here’s what I’ve found very interesting. 

The people with the least amount of experience want the most, all because they have been in the industry for a couple years and “are willing to learn more”.

As opposed to the older guys that have been in business for themselves, traveled for work, jacks of all trades, have plenty of experience, have their own tools, trucks etc are willing to come in and prove themselves FIRST and just want to get their foot in the door.

So y’all tell me who “deserves” the position? The entitled young guy because he’s confident or the older guy that is humble?

I really don’t like to use the word humble because it implies thinking less of yourself but I am seeing now that the world does need more people that can be honest and real!

The real state of the market (with jobs, dating, and keeping your spouse) is competitive. 

I can teach you how to position yourself as unique, special, and irreplaceable but that’s a different conversation for a different day.

The moment you think you are ENTITLED to ANYTHING, you get lazy and ultimately lose.

Which is what I am seeing happen with a lot of fully capable men and women in business and their love life.

Worthiness vs Deserving

There is a big difference between thinking you are worthy of having the things you desire vs you deserve the things you desire.

Worthiness is a belief; a mindset; you know what you want and believe it is possible for you. When it comes to you, you will openly receive it because you believe it. 

However, deserving is a RESULT from the actions you’ve taken, that align with the desired outcome.

You do not deserve ANYTHING just because you think you do.

The person “giving” you their money, time, energy, or opportunity is the one that decides this.

This is a basic business and marketing principle.

Just because you are a good person doesn’t mean you deserve anything, what have you done to get the results that you want?

If you are noticing that people are not giving you want you want, it’s time to go back to the drawing board and figure out:

• Are you asking for too much?

• Is it how you are asking?

• What qualifies you for what you’re asking for?

• Is it clear that you are worth the investment because you are exactly who they are looking for (and more)?

If there is any uncertainty or room for improvement with any of these questions, THAT is why you are NOT getting what you “deserve”.

Address these and you will start getting more of what you want ✨

If you don’t know what your dream career, employer, customers, clients, or spouse wants, THAT IS THE FIRST STEP.
