When your micro-business doesn’t succeed…
I received an email today that may strike home for some of you.
I am just leaving a company I started two years and am going back to working for someone else, finding the opportunities is fairly easy, dealing with the different feelings and emotions is the challenge as well as thinking clearly enough to make a good decision.
When your own business does not do as well as you need it to, it’s not the end of the world and the solution is actually quite simple.
(A) You change what you are doing or
(B) You work for somebody else for a while.
I have dealt with many variations of (A) already, so let me address the ramifications of (B) in this post. The writer of the email has already spotted the biggest problem with (B), the feelings and emotions associated with abandoning a dream.
There is no shame in working for someone who is succeeding and wants your help. Great companies are built by tight little conspiracies of dedicated people who aid each other in achieving a common goal.
The major insanity that prevents this is the all too common propensity of subordinate players trying to take the lead by undermining the efforts of the lead player. Let me give you this uncommon advice. Read it until it is seared, seared in your memory.
It doesn’t matter if you are smarter, saner, and more experienced than your new boss. As long as you are working for him, support him and protect his flanks.

Starting your next job successfully
Congratulations! You have escaped/been fired/resigned from your last job.
You need to gather the remnants of your sanity and prepare for a successful entrance to the next phase of your life. If done correctly, you may even enjoy yourself.
If you are planning to join a new company and are just going to try harder this time, I have news for you. This is not a winning strategy.
Joining a new company and repeating the actions that you used at the last company will turn out badly most of the time. You need a mental makeover.
You need to fully comprehend how your entry into a new job affects the rest of your life at that company. Most people who fail in a job do so because of the actions they take, or fail to take, in the first weeks and months of their new employment.
You may feel that your last company was organized like this:
It may well have been, but like it or not, you helped contribute to that as long as you were there. Now that you are making a transition to a new company, leave the past behind.

Escaping a dead-end job
In almost every job, there comes that moment of dreadful clarity when you finally realize that your employers have no intention of providing adequate compensation for your efforts on their behalf. They may be perfectly willing to shower you with attaboys, but steadily maintain that business conditions prevent them from giving you any raises.
You realize that the long days, the late nighters, and the sacrificed holidays with your family were all for nothing. This is such a catastrophic letdown that your normally ebulent/hopeful/cynical mood (choose one) can change to chronic apathy. Read on, because there is a way out of this apparent dead end.
Sometimes, the best of jobs can turn into a dead-end job even though you are pulling off miracles every week. Human nature being what it is, you can find that your accomplishments are being ignored while other employees find favor for work that is slipshod and erratic. Sometimes this is due to nepotism, but more often it is due to subtle prejudices that your employer is not even aware that he has.
Owner/managers tend to validate activities that they understand and devalue those that they don’t understand. They may view your activities as a necessary evil. Technical people in a non-technical firm experience this, but it also happens to salesmen, contract negotiators, and the backbone of all small businesses, the office manager!

Feelings are not as important as performance
I keep running across this recurring workplace theme, “This place is insane! If only I could get out of here!”
There is a similar educational theme. “This school is insane! I’ve got to get my kid(s) out of here!”
Lets face it. When companies or other institutions validate feelings instead of performance, the end result is insane behavior.
It is a classic example of getting what you reward. If you put your attention on the whiners instead of the performers, you get more whiners. More precisely, these institutions are rewarding people who are the problems instead of rewarding the problem solvers. That is insanity, plain and simple.
