How Can You Be Indispensable?
by Michael Feeley
I’M ALWAYS WORKING on being indispensable for myself and encouraging it in others.
I like helping people see their work and skills as gifts. Their services and products have daily value. The more they practice work, the more indispensable you become.
I want to create linchpins because they are the foundation for successful businesses and personal growth and happiness. Being indispensable and remarkable is an attitude you can develop and practice… if you care enough to do the work.
I’m helping people make choices not to be cogs – not to be hacks. Not to ‘get by’ but to practice being remarkable. To do work that matters. Take charge. Invent, lead, make choices that make things happen, and be proud of their work.
When people work, they’re creating art of some kind – housekeeping, cleaning pools, gardening, driving guests, delivering water, painting, replacing wooden steps, renting cars, food shopping.
It’s what Seth Godin expresses so well:
“Becoming a linchpin is a stepwise process, a path in which you develop the attributes that make you indispensable.
You can train yourself to matter. The first step is the most difficult, the step where you acknowledge that this is a skill, and like all skills, you can (and will) get better at it.
Every day, if you focus on the gifts, art, and connections that characterize the linchpin, you’ll become a little more indispensable.”
