Attract Success: Master Your Craft

Become more attractive to customers, clients, or superiors by mastering your craft. Being the best at what you do is the easiest way to become successful. This principle isn't promoting competence - it implies an even higher standard than mere competence. To master your craft means to learn how to deliver your services to fit the ever-changing needs of your customers, clients, or managers. It means to invent better ways to do everything you do.

Mastering your craft is about raising your own personal standards within the context of your professional life. It is about reducing the costs (in time and emotions) of delivering your services. It is about increasing the demand for your services. It is about making any and all necessary personal changes in order to move forward.

When you master your craft, you often experience the following:
  • You learn more.
  • You learn faster.
  • You separate yourself from colleagues and others who drain you.
  • You find better ways to do what you're doing - even if you're already good at it.
  • You find greater joy in your work and in your life.
  • You influence others more easily.

Being the best at what you do is the easiest way to become successful. Master your craft.
