HOW TO BREAK FREE
RECOGNISE WHEN YOU’RE

YOU KNOW
WHEN
YOU’RE IN
A RUT?

4. YOU’RE IN A RUT WHEN
nothing about what you do
interests or excites you.
You feel you could do it with
your eyes shut. Sometimes
your eyes really are shut.

6. BREAK FREE WITH
A BEST
BOOST

7. DECIDE YOU ARE GOING TO BE
the very best clerk or waiter
or assistant or temp or intern
or operator that could
possibly be imagined.
Act as if it really matters

8. DEVELOP THE HABIT
of personal connections.
You never know
who you're dealing with.
And everyone, yes everyone,
is important

9. SET
YOURSELF
A
CHALLENGE

10. PICK ONE THING
you’re not great at.
Decide on three actions
you will take to improve
in this area. When you are
happy with the result,
move on to something else
