6 Things You Must Quit Doing Now To Be More Successful By Dr. Travis Bradberry Quit thinking everything is going to work out on its own. It’s tempting to think that it’s all going to work out in the end, but the truth is that you have to make it work. This has many implications. Don’t expect your boss to notice when you’re ready for a promotion, don’t expect your colleague to stop sloughing work off on you if you’re always willing to do it, and don’t think that anyone is going to stop walking all over you as long as you allow it. Everything is not going to magically work out on its own; you have to be proactive and take responsibility for yourself. Quit saying “yes.” Every “yes” you utter is a tradeoff . By saying “yes” to one thing, you’re saying “no” to something else. Saying “yes” to staying late at work, for example, might mean saying “no” to the gym or to time spent with your family. Research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, showed that the more difficulty you have saying “no,” the more likely you are to experience stress, burnout, and even depression. Saying “no” is indeed a major challenge for many people. No is a powerful word that you should not be afraid to wield. When it’s time to say “no,” avoid phrases such as I don’t think I can or I’m not certain. Saying “no” to a new commitment honors your existing commitments and gives you the opportunity to successfully fulfill them. When you learn to say “no,” you free yourself from unnecessary constraints and free up your time and energy for the important things in life. Bringing It All Togethe r There are dozens of ways we get in the way of achieving our full potential. We doubt ourselves, we decide that something is just too hard, or we tell ourselves that we’ll worry about it tomorrow. If you really want to succeed—and I mean really succeed—stop focusing so much on what you should be doing and, instead, take a really good look at the things you should quit doing. End of Article I hope this article is informative and inspirational to anyone who is contemplating a change in their professional journey. I have traveled this road and I can tell you without reservation that you should never doubt your gut. Each time I listened....I was elevated to a new advancement...each time I did not listen I traveled a wrong path and regretted that decision. The job market is hot with many opportunities to advance your professional career. If you have any of these reservations about your current professional career, I would be happy and honored to help you find not only the perfect opportunity, but also help you find that culture that you will thrive and advance in. All Success! Jim jim@BoloExecutive.com

6 Things You Must Quit Doing Now To Be More Successful Dr. Travis Bradberry Chief People Scientist at LEADx and #1 bestselling author Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Most of us grew up hearing the mantra “Don’t be a quitter,” and we’ve internalized it to the point where we feel guilty even if we don’t finish a book that’s boring us to death. Our parents weren’t entirely wrong in saying that persistence is necessary for success, but sometimes quitting is the most effective course of action. Whether it’s a failed project, a thankless job, or a doomed relationship, quitting can be a virtue. “Quitting is leading too.” – Nelson Mandela As it turns out, some of us are really good at knowing when to quit, while others have a hard time getting “unstuck.” Research from the University of Rochester found that people are motivated by either “approach goals” or “avoidance goals.” Those who fall into the approach camp are motivated by challenges and don’t waste time trying to solve problems that simply don’t have a feasible solution. In other words, they know when to quit. People motivated by avoidance goals, however, worry a lot more about failing. They want to avoid failure at all costs, so they keep plugging away at things, long after logic suggests it’s time to move on. This is typically a much less productive way to work. Knowing when to quit is a skill that can be learned. If you tend to get stuck on things long after it’s obvious that what you’re doing isn’t working, you can train yourself to do better. You just need to practice quitting. Thankfully, life provides plenty of opportunities to do this. Here are some things we should all quit doing. Quit doubting yourself. Confidence plays a huge role in success. Hewlett-Packard conducted an interesting study whereby they analyzed the process through which people applied for promotions at the company. Women, it turned out, only applied when they met 100% of the criteria for the job they wanted, while men applied when they met 60% of the criteria. The researchers postulated that one of the (many) reasons men dominated the upper echelons of the company is that they were willing to try for more positions than females. Sometimes confidence is all it takes to reach that next level. The trick is, you have to believe it. If you doubt yourself, it won’t work. Faking confidence just doesn’t produce the same results. Quit putting things off. Change is hard. Self-improvement is hard. Scrounging up the guts to go for what you want is hard, and so is the work to make it happen. When things are hard, it’s always easier to decide to tackle them tomorrow. The problem is that tomorrow never comes. Saying you’ll do it tomorrow is just an excuse, and it means that either you don’t really want to do it or that you want the results without the hard work that comes along with it.

Saying you’ll do it tomorrow is just an excuse, and it means that either you don’t really want to do it or that you want the results without the hard work that comes along with it. Quit thinking you have no choice. There’s always a choice. Sure, sometimes it’s a choice between two things that seem equally bad, but there’s still a choice. Pretending that there isn’t one makes you a victim who is voluntarily taking on a mantle of helplessness. To play the victim, you have to give up your power, and you can’t put a price on that. To succeed at the highest level, you have to quit giving your power away. Quit doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Despite his popularity and cutting insight, there are a lot of people who seem determined that two plus two will eventually equal five. The fact is simple: if you keep the same approach, you’ll keep getting the same results, no matter how much you hope for the opposite. If you want different results, you need to change your approach, even when it’s painful to do so.

Happy New Year! 2023 is already rolling on....bringing better times! This quote was so strong for me that I wanted to share with all of you. Regardless of where you are in your career...these words should always guide you on your path. What is the most important skill you can learn? Knowing when to leave a position that has become static, caustic, or unrewarding! This is most important...because your career depends on your ability to assess and make a plan of correction. But how do you know? You go into a leadership position thinking that you will grow and prosper with that company, and you should. However, when you see red flags....you need to take action at that moment. During the next couple of weeks, I will be writing on this subject on my blog at Bolo Talk! www.boloexecutive.com/blog If this subject and great opportunities interest you, please subscribe to Bolo Talk! now! I look forward to this series and your feedback. All Success! Jim jim@BoloExecutive.com

This article By Hailey Mensik and published in Healthdive is a very stark view of the reality of Hospital Staffing challenges today! It is time to face the facts! I keep hearing that all the RNs leaving for travel assignments will level out at some point and they will be forced back to the hospital setting....except one variant...so many Nurses are retiring and many others are choosing to take early retirement or remote positions. A day or reckoning for hospitals? Enjoy! Jim Dive Brief: Burnout from working through the pandemic continues driving nurses to quit their jobs, and more than a third of nurses recently surveyed by staffing firm Incredible Health said they plan to leave their current jobs by the end of this year, according to a report out Wednesday. Nurses cited burnout and high-stress work environments as the No. 1 reason for leaving their jobs, followed by pay and benefits. Among those leaving or planning to leave, higher salaries are the top motivating factor for taking other positions. Nurses are also leaving for other jobs with greater flexibility and opportunities for career advancement, according to the survey. Dive Insight: Hospitals are currently battling some of the worst staffing shortages they've faced since the pandemic began as burned out healthcare workers continue leaving their roles. Many are quitting to take higher-paying traveling nurse positions or opting for early retirements, as systems attempt to wrangle in heightened labor expenses. Burnout is a key factor causing nurses to quit, followed by pay, though in general salaries haven't risen substantially, according to Incredible Health's report, which is based on data collected through its platform along with a survey it conducted of more than 2,500 nurses in February. Instead of boosting salaries to recruit and retain staff, systems have opted for sign-on bonuses. The number of offers including such bonuses rose 162% over the past year, according to data from Incredible Health's platform. In Texas, 58% of offers included sign-on bonuses in 2021 compared to 16% in 2020, and bonuses nearly doubled in value from $5,800 to $10,700. But salaries in the state overall decreased 5% over the past year, according to the report. Meanwhile, California has the highest nurse salaries, which are about 20% above the national average. Sign-on bonuses have been effective in enticing nurses to relocate for new positions. Interview rejections due to location decreased 28% over the past year, according to the report. As the healthcare workforce continues undergoing some major transitions two years into the pandemic, issues with traveling nurse staff continue serving as a key pain point. They're commanding much higher rates than permanent staff, spurring some to leave for those roles elsewhere and causing more problems for those who stay. Among nurses surveyed, 77% said they've seen an increase in travel nurses in their unit over the past year, and 33% said that's caused an increase in dissatisfaction among permanent staff, the report found. Compensation differences were the leading cause of dissatisfaction, and the culture of a unit changes amid influxes of temporary staff, nurses reported. At the same time, nurses said patient frustrations, racism and discrimination and assaults are on the rise, partially due to ongoing COVID-19 guidelines. Some 65% of nurses said they had been verbally or physically attacked by a patient or patient's family member in the past year, the survey found. While 52% attributed that to pandemic restrictions, 47% said it's a result of longer wait times and other issues caused by a lack of staffing. Current staffing shortages are so troublesome that they're the top patient safety concern for 2022, according to another report out Monday from healthcare safety organization Emergency Care Research Institute. ECRI Researchers said shortages are actively jeopardizing patient safety, with many patients waiting longer for care, even in life-threatening emergencies.
