The Million Dollar Career Series: Horrible Bosses? Think Again! w/Robert Houghton

The recipe to a million dollar career isn’t easy, but it is simple, and most of the time, the right attitude is the key ingredient to success. That said, maintaining a positive attitude can be easier said than done, especially if we’re clashing with our superiors. 

 

How can we get better at dealing with bosses we don’t agree with, or who just aren’t seeing our value? Should we be switching up our approach, or is it a smarter idea to cut our losses and seek employment elsewhere? 

 

In this episode, Founder and President of MR Fairfax, Robert Houghton and I discuss how to stay optimistic when we’re not seeing eye-to-eye with our leaders.

 

"If you want a million dollar career, you have to be resilient. If you can't bounce back, you'll be run over." -Robert Houghton
