What People Love Most About Their Work
Entrepreneur or not, work is a huge part of your life. In fact, the average person will spend more than thirteen years of their life at work! And when you break down what you will spend most of your time on in life, work is second only to sleep.
It’s no wonder, then, why I’ve periodically been curious as to what it is that people love most about their work.
Regardless of the industry, pay scale, etc.
As they say, “Ask and you shall receive,” so I did just that. I asked my LinkedIn network, “What do you love most about your work?” and I was pleasantly surprised by the responses.
Here are the top 10 replies to the question:
- Freedom. Flexibility. Helping people! Changing people's life! The most satisfying and rewarding thing is hearing back from my customers and teammates on how their life has changed! (Falyn Shilts)
- Making a difference! Trying to shake up the industry I work in. (Peter Smith)
- The ability to help others and impact their lives! (Jonaed Iqbal)
- I love getting to create things and help people realize their dreams. (Alison Tedford)
- The ability to help others grow on a daily basis! (Jordan J. Mendoza)
- The people I work with! (Becca Renaut)
- I love how much I learn about illness and what people are doing to make it better. (Jes Sofia Valle)
- That my work has a goal of helping others. I love that writing lights up my soul! (Rachel Beck)
- How my leadership team challenges me beyond the skills of my job. It is amazing! (Laura A. Kiley)
- I am blessed to work in a business where we are impacting people’s lives, helping them have a higher quality of life! (Dallas Harris)
It doesn’t take reading more than half this list to notice a trend: people who love their work love it because of the people they serve and the people they work alongside with!
So my LinkedIn family, it seems that what people love most about their work, is people.
