Enjoy LIFE – Jamie Dimon – #Entspresso


good morning believe nation today’s
message is enjoy life over to you Jamie
Dimon go to work a place we respect the
people you think the company has the
kind of culture you like is going to
grow as to be ambitious and your career
will take who knows what path and you
know do think I had a couple of jobs so
that you’re always thinking maybe what I
might want to do next and you know one
point lighting have to make a vertical
switch or some point life may get fired
like some of us have been in a war and
those those are hard things but it could
be very good thing so some I’ve also
find some people said that’s what they
want and they’re looking up those
hundred stairs and always measuring how
quickly the going versus different
that’s it you don’t you’re not doing the
right thing you’re not enjoying your
jobs your your you know it takes a lot
of luck to get to that top rung
sometimes and and if you’re really good
you probably get there it may not be at
that company they may be somewhere else
so I tell you enjoy your life enjoy
every step of it and don’t don’t worry
too much about that kind of ambition I
remember one of the first and only jobs
that I ever had was working in a
financial institution and we’re working
on merging some documents together and
is basically a bunch of copying pasting
work all day long day in day out just
doing copy and pasting from one thing to
the other and it was super boring work
and it’s give him a headache because I
had you know fluorescent lights and as a
result I would bring popcorn into work
to kind of give me some salt and help me
get over the headaches and they told me
that I couldn’t have food while I was
working and I used to bring in a headset
so I could listen to music cuz the work
was pretty boring and they said I
couldn’t listen to music and then the
quarterly reports came in and I was on a
team of people maybe six to eight people
and I like to work like my default is to
work when I’m at home and you know
Nina’s not home and Hayden’s is asleep
or whatever I’m I’m I work like I enjoy
my work and so I wasn’t taking lunch
breaks with my colleagues I was just
working other with who lunch when i was
there from nine to five where the hours
were i was working and when the
quarterly reports came in
I had done more work than the rest of my
team combined that was six to eight
people like one guy was doing the work
of five to seven people and i was told
that i was almost fired because of my
bad habits of wanting to eat food at my
desk and listen to music but because i
was so productive they kept me on like I
should be grateful that they kept me on
and so for the next couple weeks I said
I my popcorn but like I hate it in my
first drawer the dads can only opened it
can I snack I remember having to wear a
turtleneck to work every day and I would
run a wire I ran my CD little CD man
back in the day it was on the floor and
I ran a wire through my jeans through my
turtleneck and then just had a little
earbud pop up outside so it could still
listen to music while I worked and it
wasn’t as noticeable and I did that for
a couple weeks and then thought this is
crazy like why am I doing this this
isn’t fun I’m not enjoying myself here
and it was a typical advice from the
people around me at the time that I need
to go get a job I thought I need to have
a job to be successful it’s what my
parents did you said I’ve been my family
did and so this is one of my first jobs
I thought this was just normal that this
was what most people did and I decided
you know what I can’t do this like this
sucks i hate going to work every day I
hate just grinding it out I’m not even
allowed to do the things that make me a
little bit happy and so I left and I
think I mean it’s a sad story but had a
happy ending what I think too many
people stay in the sad story I think too
many people never leave to go do
something else I think too many people
stick with a life that they’re not happy
with that they don’t enjoy that they’re
just grinding it out for somebody else
helping somebody else’s dream come true
instead of working on their own and what
I’ve tried to do consistently is if I’m
not happy with something in any area of
my life and it’s consistent I make a
change and that might be changing the
relationship it might be changing my
schedule they might be changing a
business direction might be might be a
small change some things are big and
some things are a lot smaller but if I’m
unhappy with something in any area of my
life I start
to make a change and I’d encourage you
to do so too like could you
enthusiastically say yes I enjoy my life
and it doesn’t mean you enjoy your life
every single day and it’s always roses
we’re all going to have our down days
but on the whole do you enjoy your life
and if not what’s contributing to you
not enjoying it and then start working
on those changes stop complaining about
it stop just thinking about it stop just
talking about it stop blaming other
people and start actually making changes
to make your life better so that you can
enthusiastically say I enjoy my life so
the question day today is do you enjoy
your life and why or why not leave in
the comments below I’ll join the
discussion thank you guys so much for
watching have an amazing day if you need
to believe and I’ll see you again
tomorrow morning for another shot events
