Work’s only Work, if you’d rather be doing something else.
Here’s to finding your passion.

Who Has The Coolest Job?
Yesterday, asking, “Does the thought of heading into your day today give you butterflies?”, it created a reflective moment.
And perhaps it’s one of those elusive gifts we can not catch or we unconsciously avoid.
If you were in a crowd and someone asked, “Who here has the coolest job in the world?“, would you raise your hand?
PS. Easiest and coolest are usually diametrically opposed.

Does Work Feel Like Work?
Does your work feel like work?
Or do you hate to leave at the end of the day?
Sometimes I wish establishing a start-up business felt a little more like work.
Work Life Saver
Balance can ruin a career, and it can save a career.
I heard a story about Walt Disney’s wife, secretary and even his physician, all saying, “Walt, you need to get a hobby or you’ll work yourself into an early grave.”
Having the distraction of a hobby can actually make you sharper, more focused, more creative, more observant.
And if your hobby not only fuels your passion, but also teaches you more than you could have ever imagined, imagine that!
People who study Walt Disney’s life know that he was labeled by many as crazy. And that he insisted on nothing short of perfection. Always aim for perfection he’d say, and settle for excellence.
This is how life works. We face countless challenges. People may call us crazy, demanding.
They may also call us passionate, purposeful, visionary.
A real, work life saver.
Leadership Wake Up Call
Yesterday’s jungle jeff blog post ended sort of weird, didn’t it?
It felt like that to me anyway.
Leadership. Personal leadership or professional leadership. It doesn’t matter.
Maybe it’s “right-sizing” at work, that’s your wake-up call.
Maybe it’s an alarming medical report that does it at home.
These are the things that rattle our cage and inspire us to make dramatic changes.
Positive changes.
Life-altering changes.
Just the other day, a neighbor commented that he was relieved he was given a package. As an executive, he felt he always remained a “target”.
Now, he no longer has that worry. He said he saw it coming and started an entrepreneurial business last year. Now he can devote full-time effort to it. He claimed he should have done this long ago.
Good for him. Proactive effort. Now, back to the point. What are you planning to do this year?
Makes everyone think, doesn’t it?
And then the Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack reminded me of something.
