Do I get paid to do work that I love? Well, I don’t love the entirety of my job but I do look forward to going to work every day and being helpful and useful to my boss. So, I get paid to do stuff that makes me feel good. Can’t ask for more than that in an admin role, hey!

If you are doing it just for the money, the satisfaction level drops to subterranean levels and going to work becomes a soul destroying exercise.
It takes guts to up and leave. When you step off the ledge it is anyone’s guess what is next on the horizon.

However, if you have some idea about what really gets you out of bed in the morning (ie your passion), and you have some modicum of self awareness you would quickly twig that the changes required start with you the person.

It is who we become in pursuit of our goals which is the grand prize.

I spent 12 years off and on working in restaurants. I was miserable and broke to say the least. I decided to do something different for a change. It was not something I really wanted to do, but it was something better than a restaurant. Well, I made a million dollars doing it, but I was not fulfilled, which lead to me to success coaching and helping people reach their dreams. I LOVE IT! And I love the feedback I get every day from viewers of my success show. By the way Craig, awesome blog. I’d love for you to come visit mine and watch a few episodes of the show and leave a comment or two. It’s http://www.cshughes.com. Keep up the great work! CSH
