4/29/2023 0 Comments Punchin the clockYou have a company because of your customers or clients. This same concept applies to Business Owners and CEOs. You’ll be looking for a new job faster than you can say “Industrial Age.” Trust me, stop bringing value to your job role, even if you keep working your 8-5 schedule and watch what happens. You were hired and are still employed because you DO a job, you bring RESULTS, so you essentially bring “value” to your company. Listen close: to bring value to your company!! Do you really? Why were you hired in the first place? Sounds great but I have a job that requires me to be in the office from 8-5. Now, I know where your mind instantly went. If you want to move from a Time-based employee to a Performance-based worker, the first thing you need to do is jettison ALL of your old BELIEFS on the “traditional” workday. Today’s issues are less about punching a time-clock and more about learning to “clock out. Plus, in today’s smartphone in our pocket or purse world, we’re always working because information is always flowing. And, for every one of those types, there’s the other guy, who has to work 12 hours to finish the same workload.Įvery human is different and unique so why would we EVER assume we’re all the same when it comes to TIME? We all know employees who can get tasks or jobs done in half the time. The main problem with traditional, 20th Century Time Management is that it operates on a flawed premise: That everyone needs to work an 8 hour day. Shouldn’t the 21st Century Workday match our new world as well? ![]() We’re in the Creative Age, where information flows instantly and business is all about being creative and bringing massive value to your customers or clients. We blew past the Industrial Age decades ago, moved into the Information Age and even have outgrown that. It still happens even now.īut everything except the need for an 8-hour workday has changed. Since the early days of industrialization, the business world has built itself for employees to punch that clock. I call this the “punch the time-clock” structure. The entire reason we have the 8-hour workday (it used to be longer) is because it is based on the factory system. We are living in the 21st Century but the business world is still operating like a factory in 1910.
