The difference between school and work

A short but important lesson to learn. In school, effort and attendance are rewarded, but in business, results are what matter. Success in the professional world is not about hours worked or effort put in, but about achieving objectives.  You have to shift to this mindset early on.  The hours you spend in the office doesn’t matter.  The amount of time you have done what you’re doing doesn’t matter.  I had a boss once that said If I could achieve my defined objectives working an hour a day, I could be promoted for playing golf all day.
