Becoming Valuable (this will make you more money anywhere)
I’ve worked with countless companies over the last 12 years and there is a lack of care and a lack competence. Seriously man, people just don’t care. People are barely making it by in life, let alone their job. If you show care, genuine care, then you are ahead of the curb. Most guys just want to get a paycheck , and go home. they just want to get by. And that is how you have a miserable life. This job is purposeful and useful. The world needs carpenters. There is no shortage of work. But there is a shortage of care and a shortage of competence.
I see good carpenters who are technically good, they know how to do their job. But they don’t have passion or fire or care. Because they don’t live passionately. So number one is to live a life you like. Don’t be what the system trains you to be. A mindless slob addicted to TV and crap food, lazy when you’re off the clock. If you’re a miserable person then you won’t care. And it takes effort to not be miserable. So care for yourself, enjoy your life, marinate of the small wins in your life, strive for joy.
That’s number one, care about your life. Number 2, be competent. Don’t be an idiot. Competence is a skill you build through Paying attention to what’s happening around you. Recognizing the patterns and adding value to the situations. If you’re with another carpenter and he’s doing a one man job, don’t stand around, sweep the floor. Be useful and keep busy but take every opportunity to learn. watch him and pay attention to what he’s doing. Ask questions. Pretend you’re a character in a video game and you need to build skills, because that is the case. Cease all opportunities to gain knowledge. That’s competence. Reading the room and being what the room needs, that’s competence.
So be competent and be caring. This places you above 90% of people immediately.
