ArjunGaur @ArjunGaur: "Get Rid of the Boring 1...."

United Kingdom

Get Rid of the Boring 1. Financial Independence If you were financially independent – say you had $100 million – would you still work here?” Patrick O’Shaughnessy of O’Shaughnessy Asset Management says that they ask every employee this question. Ideally the answer is “yes,” of course. But Patrick said most people add a twist. “I would still work here, but I wouldn’t want to do X, Y, or Z anymore,” they say. X, Y, and Z tend to be repetitive and monotonous tasks that no one likes doing. And those, he said, tend to be the tasks you should try to automate out of your daily work. 2. Trick Question The question is almost a trick. The point isn’t to gauge your loyalty. It’s to uncover your job’s inefficiencies. Data entry. Formatting. Documenting. Calculating. Reporting. Modelling. Invoicing. Testing. Few people enjoy these tasks because they’re rules-based and don’t require much creativity, which are exactly the kind of mind-melting things software can increasingly take off your plate. 3. Creativity What’s often left over is creative work that constantly forces you to do new things in new ways. And that, you might find, is the kind of work that keeps you so engaged you’d be happy to do it without a pay-check. 4. Conclusion How to get rid of the Boring as an Investor - Same as always - Rather than betting on one business over and over again, how about getting creative and finding new opportunities like $GIB (CGI Group) $BSBR (Banco Santander Brasil SA) $UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation-ADR) $ALGN (Align Technology Inc) and $PTC (PTC Inc.) i.pinimg.com/originals/52/e2/d1/52e2d1a3d3980260f7df0b534f2fd3fe.jpg I welcome you all to look at my Portfolio and add it to your Watchlist >> I look forward to growing with all of you : )
