One of the areas I really believe in at work is passion. “Really?” I hear you ask. But for me, loving what I do all day is an integral part of work for me. I cannot imagine what it’s like coming to work and not loving it. However, to many people, finding passion in the workplace doesn’t seem feasible. With time, effort and a bit of thinking this can be achieved – but why is it important?
Being passionate about work improves productivity, your health and happiness and means that you spend time doing something you love on a day to day basis. Achieving happiness at work will have such a positive effect on your whole life, not just your professional life.
When you are doing work you love you are more likely to complete the work effectively. Completing tasks to the best of your ability will make you feel great about yourself and your work. You will have more energy and enthusiasm, leading to projects and activities being completed on time, in turn creating more positive energy.
One way to reduce stress is to get passion into your work and you will feel less stressed even if things don’t always go according to plan. You will still feel a sense of satisfaction at what you have accomplished. When work doesn’t feel like a workload you don’t mind having to work longer hours or work harder to succeed.
You will have a more positive attitude towards your job and get more out of it. I’m a big believer that you get out of life what you put in and the results consistently prove this themselves.
To be passionate abut your work you will have to really care about your work. Sometimes this is difficult if you’re working for someone else. One avenue to consider is working for yourself. If you think this will ignite your passion then an easier entry into self-employment is through joining a franchise.
A franchise will give you an opportunity to build your own business with the safety of knowing you are working within an established business model. You will be supported by the franchisor as your business grows, consequently it’s your business but you are not on your own. There will be a team of people working to help your business be successful. Start your own business, join a franchise and find the passion for work by choosing a different career path for yourself.”
