Reaching success, I always focused on clients and projects, and ignored the money. Then all this money started pouring in. And I got distracted by it. And suddenly I was on the phone to my stockbroker and my real estate agent, when I should have been talking to my clients. And reaching success, I always did what I loved. But then I got into stuff that I didn't love, like management. I am the world's worst manager, but I figured I should be doing it, because I was, after all, the president of the company. Well, soon a black cloud formed over my head and here I was, outwardly very successful, but inwardly very depressed. But I'm a guy; I knew how to fix it. I bought a fast car. It didn't help. I was faster but just as depressed. So I went to my doctor. I said, "Doc, I can buy anything I want. But I'm not happy. I'm depressed. It's true what they say, and I didn't believe it until it happened to me. But money can't buy happiness." He said, "No. But it can buy Prozac." And he put me on anti-depressants. And yeah, the black cloud faded a little bit, but so did all the work, because I was just floating along. I couldn't care less if clients ever called. And clients didn't call. Because they could see I was no longer serving them, I was only serving myself. So they took their money and their projects to others who would serve them better.
為了成功,我用心地關(guān)注我的客戶和計劃,而不是金錢。但一旦公司開始賺錢,我就開始分心了,我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己總是在與股票經(jīng)紀人、地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀人講電話,在我應(yīng)該花時間關(guān)心客戶的時候。 為了成功,我總是做我最喜歡的事,但不喜歡的事慢慢接踵而來,像管理。我是世界上最糟糕的管理者,但當時我覺得這就是我該做的,因為我畢竟是公司的老板。 很快地,烏云罩頂。我外表看上去成功,但內(nèi)心非常消沉。但身為一個男人,我知道該怎么解決。我買了臺跑車,但那沒有解決問題。我擁有了速度但仍然消沉。 于是我去看醫(yī)生,我說:“醫(yī)生,這世界上沒有什么是我要而買不到的,但我很不快樂。人們說的都是真的,我以前不相信,直到親身經(jīng)歷。金錢是買不到快樂的。”他回答:“是的,但它可以買到百憂解?!庇谑撬屛页钥箲n郁藥,烏云似乎有點消散了,但工作也是,因為我如墜云中。我根本不在乎客戶有沒有與我聯(lián)系。 事實上也沒有。因為他們知道我已經(jīng)不再在乎他們,我只在乎我自己。于是他們帶著錢和計劃到真正能服務(wù)他們的人那里去。
