How to Be the Best, Fastest or Smartest Employee in Your Team

It would be tricky to aim to be the best, fastest and smartest in your team.  But certainly fun trying.  However you can and should be one of them, or at least the ‘something-est’ in your team.  Tip: don’t be the lazi-est.  Go for something positive!

I learned this idea from Mike Michalowicz who wrote the excellent and unique business book ‘The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur’. He calls it the ‘EST’ model.  He says in business, to stand out and be the one that people will go to when a particular job needs doing, you must be the ‘something-est’ business in your niche.  You could be the fastest to deliver.  You could be the smartest to work with. Or the nicest to work with perhaps, if that’s what your customers value and pay for.  I guess if you’re a comedian, you want to strive to be the funniest perhaps, for your niche.  Or you could just aim to be the ‘b-est‘.  Whatever will appeal most to your niche and put you in the forefront of their mind when they desire that particular ‘EST’ in the solution they’re paying for.  So, as with many of the business ideas I blog about, this too can be applied by you on an individual level in your work.  Decide what your ‘EST” is.  And consider amplifying it further.  Consider the impact of growing your ‘EST’ in it’s natural direction.  If it’s what your niche (or ideal) employers want, then you should find your employment value increase.  So make sure it’s something they value and pay a premium for perhaps.
The B-est Way For You to Earn a Living

I’ve just launched my new service to help people find and get in to their ideal career (and escape the wrong job).  It’s called ‘The Great Career Escape‘.  The process I walk people through to land themselves in the strongest most rewarding position possible in their career is not the cheapest.  It’s not the fastest (it’s no magic pill) either.  And short term, it’s not the easiest because you’re required to put some thought and effort in (although it makes the rest of your life much much easier).  But I’m confident it’s the smartest approach.  I’m confident that it’s the longest lasting in terms of keeping you on track for the rest of your life, if you hang on to the process.  And if you follow the process in full, I’m confident that it’s the highest quality solution out there.  As it improves continuously, and has already proven to work, I’m confident that my chosen market will consider it the best solution available.  If you’re keen to reinvent yourself in a new career but don’t know where to start – click here to create a free account.
