2 simple Things You Need To Succeed At Work

It's competitive out there. No one's going to hand you anything, you have to work for it.
While I was in film school, I worked in the restaurant industry. It's how I paid for film school.

For those who don't have experience in hospitality, there's a system of hierarchy in the kitchen called the French brigade.
The French brigade in the kitchen starts at the top with the Chef de Cuisine, then you have your sous chef, and then you're associates...and so on. This experience has shaped my way of getting things done as an individual and with a team. If someone doesn't do their part in the kitchen, then it causes a roadblock in the production line. Working in the kitchen is such a fast paced environment, so things can fall apart easily with very little room for error.

The reason why I brought up working in the restaurant was that it has helped me build up a strong focus on productivity and a streamlined process of hierarchy. I learned through the years to work better with other creatives and to be more open to discussions. Patience is one of the things I had to build up. I know when I take a moment to step out, take a break, and then come back in, I'm more focused.

I like the challenge too...like, that's a thing. If I'm not challenging myself, then I'm not learning. Now, I look back at my career, and it's crazy how far I've come from working in the restaurant to now. Me talking about it now sounds like a simple progression upward, but I did go through a lot of downs during my career.

There's no algorithm or formula for being successful at what you do. It takes a lot of focus and determination. There's always going to be someone better than you. There's always gonna be someone that's going to be above you. And you can always be bitter about it, or you can get better. It's like the story Kwanza told us about when you're headed in a direction for success. There will always be bumps on the road but are you still willing to go that route?

Focus + Challenge = Growth

We know there isn't *really* a formula to success, but just hear us out for a sec...you'll be happy you did. If you hope to grow into that unstoppable success story on your vision board, you'll need two things: focused passion and a willingness to learn.

Think about it. What makes you tick? What gets you excited? What's that one thing you're always coming back to and can't let go of? And more importantly, are you willing to put your pride aside so that you can learn and grow?

Remember, Boost Friends...no one is perfect, no one knows everything, and sh*t happens. It’s time to take Ria's advice: stop letting roadblocks ruin your plans and start using them to your advantage.

Ria did...will you?

Are You a Team Player?

There are some harsh realities that you might have to fess up to if you're hoping to make some big career moves. The first of many being...are you truly a team player? In this episode, Ria talks about her days working in the food industry to pay her own way through school. From this experience, she not only became a #Boss, independent woman but she also discovered the importance of teamwork. If just one member of the kitchen drops the ball, then chaos can ensue.

Let's check in with you again. Are you the type that can handle working and communicating with others for the greater good? Or are you still trying to be the only person who shines in front and center?

As Ria says, “You can get bitter, or you can get better." Being on a team is no time for jealousy or competition. There will always be someone who is better than you.

Make sure you're making the right choices each day in your personal relationships with your team. Are you willing to learn from others and grow like Ria did, or will you let your self-sabotaging behaviors get the best of you?
