I Get To Go to Work - Episode 106

from Workforce Skills with John Morris

In Episode 106 of the Workforce Skills Podcast, John Morris challenges a mindset that’s holding too many people back: “I have to go to work.” What if you changed that to… “I get to go to work.” From 30 straight days without a day off… to 4:30am mornings… to teaching 150 students in a vocational program at night — John breaks down why burnout isn’t about hours worked. It’s about purpose. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why mindset determines success more than talent The difference between “have to” and “get to” How showing up early and saying “yes” changes your career trajectory Why complaining guarantees you’ll stay stuck How leaders should think like employees — and employees should think like owners Why surrounding yourself with positive, driven people changes everything If there’s one episode to take seriously, this is it. It’s not about motivation. It’s about rewiring your thinking. Half full or half empty? The choice is yours.
