Is Having a Good Attitude Just "Corporate Confetti"?

You might think it’s cheesy, but a good attitude says “I take ownership, stay coachable, and don’t make every bump in the road everyone else’s problem”. That’s not a slogan, that’s a behavior. Managers aren’t grading your personality, they’re measuring whether you make progress easier or harder for the people around you. In this video, Glenn uses an real life example from Outback Steakhouse to explain why having a good attitude still matter so much, even if you think it’s “Old School”.

Why You Have To Do the Cruddy Stuff Too

You won’t be a highly valued employee unless you do the entire job. That includes the unpleasant parts like filling out paperwork or cleaning up. They may seem unimportant, but they’re still part of the job. In this video, Glenn explains how these how this can directly affect your income more than you know.

Don't Resist Change

One of the most insurmountable hurdles for employers is trying to manage employees who fight change. Change is inevitable. In this video, Glenn shows how companies like Domino’s and Pizza Hut became so successful by adapting to change better than most. And why the founder of Papa John’s gave free pizzas to everyone who owned a Camaro after paying $250,000 for his old Z-28.

How to Create Job Security

No company can give you true job security. But in this Micro-Lesson, Glenn explains how you can get it.

Get Clear About Your Relationship with Money

Getting clear about your relationship with money makes you a steadier, smarter professional. When money anxiety is running in the background, it can push you to overwork, avoid tough conversations, cling to the wrong job, or tolerate disrespect because you feel like you “can’t afford” change. But when you understand what money means to you (security, freedom, approval, status), you can separate real financial needs from fear-based decisions. That clarity helps you negotiate more confidently, set healthier boundaries, choose opportunities for the right reasons, and show up at work with less stress and more control.

Offer to Help Before You’re Asked

The best way to affect your career future is by becoming a highly valued employee today. One way to do this is to become so proactive that you answer questions before your boss asks them.

Think Things Through

Being a hard worker isn't enough if you're not also a hard thinker.

What If Your Company Doesn't See Your Value?

When it feels like your company doesn’t recognize your value, it can drain your motivation, confidence, and even your sense of direction. Sometimes the issue is visibility, not ability. Your results may be real, but unclear to the people who make decisions. Other times, the company’s priorities have shifted, and what you’re great at simply isn’t what they’re measuring right now.

Why Companies Promote Impact, Not Effort (WIFM)

If you want to move up, stop selling “I’m busy” and start proving “I’m valuable.” Translate your work into results: revenue gained, costs reduced, problems prevented, capacity created, people developed. When leaders can clearly see how you make the business stronger, they don’t just appreciate your effort, they invest in your future

What It Means to be Indispensable

Being indispensable at work isn’t about playing the nonstop hero who never takes a day off. It’s about being the person who consistently makes things run smoother, delivers better results, and shrinks problems everywhere you’re involved.

Adopt the Work Ethic Your Grandparents Had

Having a strong work ethic isn’t about working yourself into the ground. It’s about being the person who’s reliable, prepared, and steady. When you show up on time, do the job all the way, and solve problems, people trust you with bigger opportunities. That kind of reputation pays off with more job security, more respect, and more money.

Can Hard Work Really Kill You?

Don’t confuse working hard with workaholism. Working incessantly for no reason is workaholism, and that burns up your relationships and joy. But when work is tied to a clear goal, it’s called focus, which is how we achieve everything in life.

Does Hard Work Cause Divorces?

Workaholism is bad for your health. But working hard can actually keep us young when we go about it the right way.

Salary Creep

Job seniority isn’t a force field; it’s just a longer timestamp on your badge. Loyalty is appreciated, but profitability is life or death for all businesses. The best job security isn’t tenure; it’s staying adaptable and constantly increasing your value.

Don't Let "Deviant Monkeys" Drag You Down with Them

Even when people don’t hate your goals, they can hate the reminder that they’ve stopped chasing their own. These people hand out sarcasm, doubt, and “that’ll never work” like candy. Keep climbing anyway. Protect your focus, find mentors who’ll encourage you, and don’t let anyone get in the way of you building your future.

Your Implied Warranty

Every job comes with an unspoken understanding. Your company will pay 100% of what it agreed to pay you, and you’re expected to give 100% effort at what you’re being paid to do.

Why Perfectionism Can Hurt Your Career

Don’t aim to always be mistake-free, aim for progress with accountability. Reduce careless errors, learn fast from reasonable ones, and keep moving forward.

“If you’re not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are willing to learn, no one can stop you.”

“Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Jobs are owned by the company, but you own your career.”

“Never, ever stop learning because there’s always at least one more thing to learn.”
