The hectic tasks during the workday tend to keep most trying to focus on their end result. Workloads seem to be on the rise and there are less people to get the jobs done. Then out of nowhere someone comes to ask for your advice or your expertise on something and you world and momentum comes to a screeching halt. Your time and space have now been invaded upon.
When others come to you for advice, think of it as a true compliment instead of an intrusion. After all, if they knew how to accomplish something and do it the right way they would not need your help or advice in the first place. And they feel you are enough of an expert or have good enough advice to trust your input. That in itself is a compliment. The most successful people in the world share what they know to enhance the lives of others. They believe in encouraging people to take their lives and businesses to the next level. You may not always see the seed grow that you plant but they will grow none the less.
There comes a point in time when enpugh is enough and you have to determine and prioritize your tasks and your day. The value of what you have to offer and your ability to accomplish what is at hand must be a prime focus if you are to succeed at anything properly. With the downsizing of companies and the surmounting fear of layoffs, people forget what is really important when it comes to the quality of the end result. They try to cram so much in that quality takes a back seat to quantity. So when someone comes to you and requests your advice and input, sit back take a minute and share what you know and what you have learned. You will not only breathe long enough to refocus and appreciate the compliment but you could contribute to someone elses future with just a few minutes of your time.
