Discover how to enjoy your job more in three simple steps, even if you if you don’t like it.

HowToEnjoyYourJobby Lisa Lane Brown

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld said, “I like almost any kind of work. I don’t know what my problem is. But I’ve learned to keep this fact quiet as it seems to make people uncomfortable.

There’s tremendous peer pressure around workplaces to assume that everybody hates working, hates their job, and every second at work is pure pain.”

Seinfeld’s comment begs the question: What is the key difference between people who enjoy their work and people who don’t?

I’ll boil it down to this: People who do not enjoy their work are either not challenged enough (bored) or too challenged (stressed out).

If you are bored – not challenged enough – chances are you are avoiding stress by choosing a role inside your Comfort Zone.

If you are too challenged, this means the stress of your job is getting to you. I’ve noticed that people who are often stressed out at work share the same common denominators in their inner game:

They are consumed by self-doubt…

They over-criticize their efforts…

They sell themselves and their ideas short…

They exhaust themselves with people-pleasing and perfectionism…and…

They procrastinate on their real dreams to avoid any possibility of failure, disappointment or rejection…

On the other hand, people with deep mental toughness at work have a totally different experience.

They TRUST themselves while working.

They are relaxed.

They are expressing their true selves.

That’s why work is a source of meaning, joy, and self-esteem in their lives.

In How To Enjoy Your Life and Your Job, Dale Carnegie give us a simple, three step code that will immediately boost your self-trust and ease your stress at work:

1. Do your work as if you enjoy it, no matter what you are doing. You might have to open your mind a bit to use this strategy.

Recently I tried it when washing the floor of my laundry room. I used to dread it and would find excuses to put it off. Finally I decided that I would do it every Saturday morning before my toddler woke up, and I would enjoy it. I realized I had brainwashed myself to believe that it had to be unpleasant; when I opened my mind to the idea that I could enjoy it, the entire experience was different.

2. Relax while you are working. I don’t mean the kind of relaxation where your mind wanders; the kind of relaxation that comes with being in the zone. Don’t scowl, hunch your shoulders, or tense your muscles.

3. Impress yourself. Even if you are doing something you don’t consider reflective of your talents, try to impress yourself – create a daily challenge, measure it, and reward yourself when you beat your high score.

Your goal does not have to be grandiose. Keep it small and extremely easy to do and measure. In The 4 Hour Body, Tim Ferriss shares a inspirational example: “Michael Levin has made a career of taking the pressure off, and it has worked. Sixty literary works later, from national nonfiction bestsellers to screenplays, he was suggesting that I do the same: set a meager goal of two pages of writing per day…Dr. B.J. Fogg, founder of the Persuasive

Technology Lab at Stanford University, wrote his graduate dissertation with a far less aggressive commitment. Even if he came home from a party at 3:00 am, he had to write one sentence per day. He finished in record time while classmates languished for years. ”

These three methods, in combination with each other, will encourage you to trust yourself at a whole new level.

The more you trust yourself, easier it will be for you to let go of self-doubt, solve problems, and enjoy your job.

Within 30 days, you will find yourself at a new level of greatness at your work, causing you to feel important and worthwhile.

By the way, in my audio program, Secrets of Deep Mental Toughness, I go into great detail on how you can conquer fear, self-doubt and procrastination, create a winning self-image, perform flawlessly under pressure, and much more.

The best part is there virtually no ‘work’ involved because the audios invoke the power of your unconscious mind using visualization.

Check out this program for the Secrets of Deep Mental Toughness.

I’m crazy at fifty – I’m loving the Courage to Win®. I feel like a kid again. What I enjoy most is the inner confidence. It makes me appreciate who I am and how great life can be.

Can’t get out of your own way? Neither could I… Until I started working with Lisa. It is by no means an exaggeration to say Lisa is the most forthright, insightful and challenging life coach anyone could ever dream of. Lisa remembers things about me even I forgot. She will never let me lie to myself. She helps me understand and focus on my goals, and make consistent progress toward them. I succeed far more than I fail, and I owe a great deal of that success to my relationship with Lisa.

Genuine confidence is an absolute necessity if you want to reach your potential. I’ve worked with Lisa as a personal mental toughness coach and have accessed Lisa’s talents in training teams I have coached. Lisa’s work is very effective because she delivers the training at the level the clients need…and it’s the type of training that you take with you and use on a daily basis
towards success.

Live Your Dreams coaching was exactly what I needed after going through a major career setback. I was quickly able to identify the root of the problem, eliminate my emotional baggage, and then develop the confidence, personal genius, and influence I needed to succeed. I was truly enlightening and already opened a number of doors for me. I fully recommend the Courage to Win
route to success!

I discovered my inner confidence again! This is an intuitive, wise, tough, kind, and deeply insightful program. It has helped me tremendously in so many aspects of my life. Without this coaching I would doubtless have taken years to make the progress I have in much shorter time. I rediscovered myself at a core level. It challenged me to examine my beliefs and confront my fears. The coaching process helped uncover the stories I had been accepting about myself and dispel the myths that caused self doubt and insecurity that I didn’t even realize
I had been harboring.

I had NO idea there was a program out there that could completely affect my entire life! As a business owner for 14 years, I felt like I was on the spectrum of successful — I had some wins but more losses… but I would just cover it up. And personally — in my relationship — I was failing a little every day too. I was never good enough, and it was a recipe for personal ‘napalm’. Enter Lisa Brown. I had no idea that an individual like Lisa Brown was out there and could completely affect my entire life… professedly and personally like she has done with me. She professionally coached me on taking my corporate business from JV to Varsity level (legit terms). She is an instrumental part of elevating me as a professional but even more importantly, Lisa has influenced my personal entire life and relationship in a positive way. Both of which I am eternally grateful for and look forward to many more years of her guidance, support.

The Courage to Win changed my life! I graduated from an Ivy League school, got my MBA from Harvard, was successful professionally, but have been aware since my earliest memories that there was an emptiness, a void, that impacted my self worth, and permeated all of my life experiences, in addition to impacting my personal, family and intimate relationships. At 52 I came to Lisa searching for answers and solutions. Lisa carefully guided me into deep self discovery, and stood by me as I reached higher, meaningful levels of self acceptance. I achieved daily and weekly revelations that had true and immediate impact on my life. Lisa changed my life and I am forever grateful that she shared her gifts with me. Choose to work with Lisa and your life can be changed as well.

HEATH MILLERHeath Miller

I was in a rut that I couldn’t get out of. I’d been in the same job for 5 years and felt stuck. After trying several strategies I finally tried mental toughness training with Lisa. Within 3 months I was offered a senior management position at my company! Lisa’s strategies really work.

Mental toughness propelled me to set some very high goals and achieve every one of them. The approach to positive AND negative thoughts and emotions helped me move through the obstacles that were standing in the way of what I wanted.

I’ve learned so much in The Courage to Win® I don’t know where to start! I learned exactly how to work towards my goals. I know how my emotions impact my life, and what to focus on, and exactly how to manage setbacks.

PENNY DONNANPenny Donnan

I got control of my time and my life. I feel like a winner! My struggle was time management. There was never enough time to do everything I had to do, let alone what I wanted to do. I felt swamped… miserable and confused. I am very impressed how quickly I started to see results. In Lisa’s 30 Day program, I learned how to work through the obstacles one by one. I feel energized and know what is truly important in my life. I know how
to prioritize tasks and eliminate roadblocks. I feel like a winner!
I’m a happier and more
productive person.

Mental toughness has the athletes confront their Inner barriers and access their self-confidence. I’m a better coach today because I know how to look beyond the x’s and o’s of the game. I relate to my athletes better.

This past March we made it to the gold medal match knocking off the previous OUA champs in 5 sets. Thanks to your candor, honesty, insight and adviceI was prepared to coach the many different personality styles my players had and be successful. You helped me understand myself this year and what I needed to do. I am way more confident in my coaching ability – thanks so much for everything you did to help me prepare for this year.

Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough when a person changes your life. You have made such a huge impact on me and my life and ability to help others. I signed up to be able to better help others but it was I who really needed the Courage to Win. I needed to believe in myself to help others. Thank you for inspiring and make me better. I am so grateful!

embodied confidence.

Damien Keaney
Ten years ago I started working with Lisa as a Gaelic Football player. My ability to focus and play consistently under Lisa was impressive. I always wondered why I would have one good game and then perhaps not so good. The same would even happen during a half of a game – one good and one not so good. Getting focused was life changing for me. I performed consistently and to the best of my ability using Lisa’s right focus process. I completed all of Lisa’s performance programs and enjoyed every last detail. After I finished playing I was keen to learn more from Lisa and signed up for her coaching program. I was amazed how she helped me help others. I was a manager / coach with a few teams over the following years. I developed an ability to identify players who like myself were not consistently at their best. I was able to help them and allow them the opportunity to be their best and enjoy playing. Taking the pressure off the player and making aspects of the game totally in the persons control a ‘win’ for them was something Lisa really taught me. I am now successfully manager of another team and still use the skills Lisa empowered me with.
Thank you Lisa.
