Turning Millennial Entitlement into Energy

Let’s face it: Us Millennials really get a bad rap.

We’re lazy. We’re inattentive. We have no work ethic. The other generations scream “Millennial Entitlement” from their soapboxes because we want things now, and we’re not willing to invest the time and effort to get it..

I for one am sick of the negative stigma associated with Millennials. While there are definitely young characters that fit the bill, we’re not ALL lazy, entitled brats.

So, let’s disprove that perception, shall we?

Let’s turn this “Millennial Entitlement” into energy. If you want something, that’s great. But go and get it! You must be willing to take the steps to make it happen.

It’s okay to expect things are going to happen. However you must be willing to back that expectation up with action. If you deserve $1M this month, do what it takes to get that money! If you deserve to be promoted to supervisor, lead like one! If you deserve to live a content life, stop doing the things that are making you miserable!

Unfortunately, you’ll likely find that these things take time to acquire. There is no silver bullet, and it can’t all be done at once. As Millennials, we need to drop the “Same-Day Shipping” mentality instant gratification normally causes. Instead develop a long term approach, take a deep breath, and get to work.

In addition to all of your other expectations, expect that it could take 10 years or more at peak levels to get to that place of success for you. The bigger the goal, the more work it may take, the longer it could take, and the more mistakes you’ll likely make along the way.

When I started this business, I thought I could build it extremely quickly. I was smart, spoke eloquently, and earned my MBA. I thought I knew how to run an effective business, and there was nothing holding me back!

Soon, I found out it just doesn’t work that way. I wanted the results now but I had to turn that entitlement into sustained energy to REALLY see results I was looking for.

If you take that entitlement and turn it into energy, then apply that energy, it will supercharge the process.

Trust me: with that kind of energy, you will see results sooner rather than later.
