Today I had an interesting conversation with a person who was assaying how the business that he runs is very labor intensive and it\u2019s hard to get the right people to do it as they need to process and package a ton of food. For example, a lot of standing up while hustling to get things done. As a result a lot of people get worn out fast. Funny thing was I was half-jokingly saying that even I would try it just for the experience. The person responded by saying it\u2019s pretty rough and it wouldn\u2019t be a good idea.<\/p>\n
My immediate reaction in my mind and vocally was how I worked at places like A McDonald\u2019s for years where that is a super-fast paced environment during the rush hours. Even though I was one of the smaller people too I actually was one of the key people who would unload trucks as well. So in my mind if I can get through that on a consistent basis I can do any other kind of labor intensive job in the same manner.<\/p>\n
That made me think how early on it can be great to get experience in the sense of doing really tough work even if the pay isn\u2019t the best. You just set the standard for yourself so high in terms of difficulty that when you do other things they will either look really easy or on the same level to what you are used to already. Just from my own experience I notice that the people who don\u2019t have these kinds of experiences tend to not do as well during tough scenarios.<\/p>\n
I actually remember one person where he said something along the lines of he would never work at a McDonalds as to him it is so low class. Funny enough this guy happened to be bad with money and always asks others to lend him money. That\u2019s not true for everyone of course as you can get these experiences in different ways. But starting too \u201ceasy\u201d in a sense is probably a disadvantage for your future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
