Good Work vs. Great Work (And How to Tell Which is Which)

That’s what we stand for here. Less Good Work. More Great Work.

For those of you who haven’t read the book (or downloaded the free chapters. And maps. And eCourse. And watched the movies. And listened to the interviews. ) here’s a quick primer…

If you can’t remember how you just spend the day (or the week) – you’re in Good Work.

If you’re about as anxious as you are excited – you’re in Great Work.

If you’re bored of telling people what you do – you’re in Good Work.

If you wake up with the idea that’s going to crack it – you’re in Great Work.

If you’re sticking to your job description – you’re in Good Work.

If you’re going to do it regardless – you’re in Great Work.

If you’re just trying to keep others happy – you’re in Good Work.

If you’re stepping out to the edge of yourself – you’re in Great Work.

So what’s your Good/Great blend these days? And are you happy with how it’s showing up?

    Thanks for these quick primers – lovely to realise that I’m in a definite phase of Great Work, and that it is totally natural to feel as anxious as I am excited about it! Thanks Michael :)
