Changing Careers

I met with a client today who’s been a school teacher and is now working with kids at risk in an outdoor play camp. She is amazingly dedicated to kids and wants to make a difference in their education.
We originally met about a year ago and have been talking about her writing a book. The challenge has been she hasn’t felt connected with the book she wanted to write.
So today we talked about her working with me and my school for kids at risk. She began to smile from ear-to-era. She was so excited about the prospect of working in Belize and the prospect of creating a program for the kids.
By the time we were done planning what we would do next, she was in tears. It was exactly what she wanted to do, but had no idea how to even begin.
The difference between working a job in your field and working your passion is night and day.
I love being a part of making someone’s dreams come true. And what fun for me to work with someone who is so enthused and has so many ideas on how to implement programs for kids-at-risk.
So a new journey begins and we’ll see where it leads.

I went to Brian Tracy event and was surprised to meet up with a woman who I had met about a year ago at another event. She had driven into S San Francisco from about 2 hours away. She has been on disability for about two years and has been struggling to try and figure out what she is going to do next.
We talked for a few minutes and I invited her to come to my speaker’s training the next week.
She did not make the meeting or call me to follow up on our conversation.
Now here I am in San Francisco at a 3-day event and the same woman is at this event. It’s no big surprise since we heard about this event at the same place and time.
It was nice to catch up with her, but on the second day of the event she admitted she didn’t know where she put my business card and even said she had sort of forgot about the speaker’s training.
She has many interests and is struggling to decide what she should do to create a new venture that will be self-sustainable.
I know most of you who have a job or even those who have your own business rarely think about what you enjoy doing rather than what you are used to doing.
My question to you is, “Why would you commit to doing anything unless you enjoy doing it?” You have a choice and whether it takes a year or two to generate more than enough income to live from something you enjoy, just start now!
