The post The Ideal Job appeared first on HostGator Blog | Gator Crossing . There are three types of people in this world: those who work because it gives them a sense of purpose and fulfillment; those who work because they have to, but would rather not be working; and those who aren’t working at all. It could be argued that these three different types of people exist based on the amount of personal responsibility that they feel for themselves and their lives, with the first group being overly responsible, driven almost to the point of a neuroses, the second group being responsible enough to know that work comes before play, and the third group who never had a sense of responsibility instilled in them at all. The fact of the matter is that given the option, no one wants to work, not really. They want to be doing something that they enjoy; if they get paid for it, so much the better. No one really wants to work, but we do.   Doing What You Love, Loving What You Do The most successful companies are those with high levels of employee morale, and one of the best ways to have high employee morale is to ensure that management morale is high. Though this may seem silly, research has indicated that the greater the morale of the owners of the company and the managers within the company, the more likely the overall morale of the company will be high. When thinking about starting up a company, don’t just concern yourself with that which will make the most money, concern yourself with that which you love. You will be the most successful doing what you love as it won’t feel like work to you. Everything will be something that you want to do. Sure, there may be some tasks that you’re not particularly fond of, but even when you sit down to get those done, they won’t truly seem like work, given the fact that they are associated with what you want to be doing.   Finding Others When looking for others to work for your company, now that you’ve got it off the ground and have started nurturing it into the size you want it to become, don’t just look for those with the fanciest resume, look for those who genuinely enjoy the work. Silly as it may sound, there are those who enjoy all different kinds of work; if you look, you will find someone who loves data entry, you will find someone who loves accounting, and (say your company is in charge of making gizmos), you will find someone who not only loves gizmos, but genuinely enjoys the work that you want them to be doing in regard to gizmos. You may find an accountant who plays with gizmos in her spare time, or a teenager who has a gizmo collection and is a whiz at data entry. Employee morale is dependent upon the overall morale of the company; if everyone there loves what they do, then the company itself will assuredly be a success. With everyone enjoying their jobs, it creates not only a pleasant work environment for the individuals who work there, but for your customers, as they will not be made to feel as though they are the burden. Happy employees make for happy customers, which in turn makes for a high revenue stream. Don’t discount a worker because they have worked in a cubicle for the past five years but is applying at your company because they have liked gizmos as a child; chances are that this individual will be a better candidate. And with everyone doing what they love, everyone wins.   Image Source: Swiss Fit Chick. (2014). Do What You Love Quote.
