Alright, let’s talk about what
it’s like to be an Uber driver.
But before we even get into that,
I want to talk about shifting your perspective.
And before I even do that,
I want to talk about Thomas Edison.
And some of you might say:
Thomas Edison, what does that have to do
with being an Uber driver?
Well Thomas Edison said that "Genius
is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
What does that mean?
Well, he came up with the idea of a light bulb.
And he didn’t just come up
with the idea that worked.
He had to try more than 500 different versions
of the light bulb, before he got it right.
So, that’s a lot of hard work.
Thomas Edison said that genius is 1% inspiration
and 99% perspiration.
When you’re an Uber driver,
you might have expert knowledge.
Maybe you know the city extremely well.
But, that’s only 1% of what
it takes to be a great Uber driver.
99% is your appearance and your attitude.
Appearance plus attitude equals professionalism.
That’s a really important concept.
