This Week’s Problem

Ever wondered why job security isn't as ironclad as you think? You might believe that a steady salary means you’re safe from job threats, but here’s the reality check: Your paycheck is directly tied to the quantity of work you produce or the profit you help generate.

So, how does this impact your job security and what should YOU be doing about it?

Matt’s *No Bollocks* Fix

Let’s cut the crap—whether you’re on a cushy salary or hustling for commission, what you earn is directly linked to the value you bring to the table. Forget about the so-called security of your paycheck; it’s all about the results you deliver. Think you’re safe just because your salary drops into your account every month? Think again. The minute your performance dips or your contribution to the bottom line starts to wane, that reliable income isn’t looking so reliable anymore.

Think of your job like you’re dating a fit bird who’s all over you. But if you start taking her for granted—skipping dates, putting in zero effort, and generally being a lazy sod—don’t be shocked when she legs it and finds someone more exciting and dependable. It’s no different in business—slack off, and your job security will vanish faster than she will.

Now, while you’re reading this, you might start to question whether you’ve got what it takes to run your own business. Loads of people shy away from entrepreneurship because they think working for someone else is the safer bet. But if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll realise your job security isn’t as rock-solid as you thought.

Here’s the hard truth: businesses pay you for the value you deliver and the profit you generate. If you’re not smashing it, don’t be surprised if your job security takes a nosedive. The takeaway here is dead simple—your job is only as secure as your performance.

And let’s be real—if you’re fretting about not pulling your weight enough to keep your job, then you’re probably not cut out for running your own show either. To stay indispensable, you’ve got to focus on delivering results and keeping your standards sky-high. Constantly check what you’re bringing to the party and always be on the lookout for ways to up your game. In business, performance isn’t just expected—it’s the currency that keeps you in the game. Want to keep getting paid and avoid that gut-punch of losing your job? Stay sharp, stay productive, and never, ever take your position for granted.
