The Two Hours After Work Determine the Person You Will Become

I am a maverick cat, who started working after graduation in 2008, and it has been seven years since. Seven years ago, I came across a saying: 'The two hours after work determine the person you will become.' For various reasons, I decided to give it a try. Over these seven years, I have been an employee at an international PR company during the day, and a persistent writer after work, having written four books, including 'When Your Talent Can't Yet Support Your Dream' and 'Don't Let the Future You Hate the Present You,' while also getting married and having children without missing out on anything. Although these seven years of persistence have been very hard, the rewards have been immense, and my achievements after work have even surpassed those at work, changing my life path in a certain sense.

Reference Plan for Process Item Management Assessment for Business Office Directors/Supervisors

This official account will invite a senior executive from a certain company to explain this article in a WeChat group on January 14 (next Tuesday). To participate, add the 365 Business School assistant at the end of the article as a friend and note "Process Item". A business office director is generally the highest grassroots sales leader for one or half a prefecture-level city, serving as the basic unit of enterprise sales. The director's basic functions generally include two major parts: first, building a talent pipeline, making personnel reserves and assistance management; second, sales indicators, where process determines results, and results reflect process. Assessment indicators are ever-changing but ultimately boil down to result-oriented and process-oriented approaches. However, market foundations vary, and personnel personalities differ greatly. This assessment plan is specially formulated to leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses. Punishment is not the goal; as long as process or result items are achieved, punishment will not be imposed.
