Do You “Earn Your Tip” in Life?

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode
Waiters make their tips based on good service. But regardless of what we do for a living, we all serve others in one way or another. So the question becomes: When presented with a complication, do you use it as license to complain, or an opportunity to show your value to others? In other words, do you “earn your tip?” The right approach can create incredible opportunities, and we’ll explore how to do that in today’s episode.
