We recently came across this quote from Coco Chanel: “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different”. It is so true, but of course in a positive way.
If you blend in with everyone else, you will get what everyone else gets. Focus on what your job is. Work on how to do it faster and better than everyone else. Make it like a game. Play against yourself and your previous performance. If you finished a certain task within 5 days, next time maybe you can improve your performance and finish in 4 days.
Always meet your deadlines. If there is a reason why you cannot, be sure to explain why prior to the deadline. This will show that you are a professional and can be counted on. Be irreplaceable!
What have you done to make yourself irreplaceable?
