The
7 Keys to Unlocking Personal Success & Happiness
in a Healthcare Job
Welcome to your personal guided tour of the
7 Keys. I’m thrilled
you’ve decided to take the next step of this
journey, and I’m very excited to share these
empowering breakthroughs with you.
Since you registered for this tour, I’m guessing
you’re experiencing what I felt in my healthcare
jobs. That is, you’re feeling stuck and frustrated
because there are things you want in your
life, but no matter what method, strategy,
or philosophy you use, you don’t seem to be
getting them.
I’m going to show you how I got out of this
situation by taking some very simple steps
and applying some unique strategies. Please
read on to discover how you can follow these
same steps to make a dramatic change in your
life.
How the 7 Keys Work
As I’ve been saying, the 7
Keys are a set of dynamic, life-changing
strategies. However, before I share them with
you, I’d first like to give you a general
idea of how they work.
Consider
this:
Healthcare is a people business. In fact,
you can’t find a profession with more people
per square inch than in healthcare. Some days
there are just too many different demands
and personalities to deal with. And at the
end of the day you may feel like you can’t
take care of all these peoples’ needs, wants,
and desires and also still take care of yourself.
This very situation leads us into how the
7 Keys work:
You
need to make you your number one priority.
If you don’t take care of yourself no one
else will. So the first part of the 7
Keys is that you remain 100 % accountable
for yourself. No one is going to care more
about you than you. This is the art of human
existence. Human beings must take accountability
for themselves.
Give
every relationship the attention it deserves.
Of course, solely taking care of yourself
will not solve of all your problems. An “I’ll
take care of me and you take care of you”
credo does not acknowledge the importance
of helping others when they are in need—a
particularly critical component in healthcare.
So, the second component is that you are also
50% responsible for every relationship you’re
in. For example, you should be 50% responsible
for your marriage and your spouse should be
responsible for the other 50%. You’re 50%
responsible for the relationship with your
boss and your boss is 50% responsible for
the relationship with you, and so on.
Make room for exceptions.
We are certainly not saying that there is
perfect give and take in all situations. Indeed,
healthcare is a prime example in which relationships
are hardly ever equal. Depending upon their
concerns, issues, medical problems, etc.,
you may have to give 90% to a patient-caregiver
relationship. Quite simply, these kinds of
relationships are different, and you need
to recognize that fact. There are just some
situations in which more is expected out of
you, and there are other situations in which
you expect more out of others (i.e., parent-child
relationships, mentor-mentee relationships
etc).
The main idea here is responsibility to yourself
and to your relationships so that beneficial
partnerships can arise. If competent, capable
adults are bringing all they can to the relationship,
then there is a much better chance that both
parties will come out as winners. This philosophy
is the driving factor behind the 7
Keys.
Now that you know a little more about how
the 7 Keys work,
why don’t you find out what your life would
look like if you implemented them.
