You Don’t Have to Quit Your Day Job

I woke up this morning with this exact quote on my mind. Well, it was more like “keep you day job” or “don’t quit your day job”
This phrase has been used to often as a joke to ridicule a bad singer or performer. Today however a very serious thing is happening and it is no joke.
Many people who have in the past enjoyed “job security” are finding out that there is no such thing as “job security”.
The economy is tanking. Companies are laying off employees with 10, 15, and more years of seniority. No one is exempt anymore. Yours truly, as well. Yes. I have been personally affected as have millions of other americans by the changes taking place today in our business environment.

That is why I never quit my day job while I pursued a second career as a Network Marketing Professional.

The Power of a Tribe

In a previous post I wrote about the book “Tribes”, by Seth Godin. Since that post, I saw something very interesting on Twitter. Aston Kutcher and Larry King (CNN) were in a race to see who could reach one million followers first. Here is a post from the “Huffington Post” showing the race.

This for me was a very good lesson on networking and leading a tribe.

i wonder what Seth thinks about this? Did Ashton read “Tribes”? He sure did follow Seth’s advice.

When I woke up this morning I found out the results.

The Game of Life

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. – Maya Angelou

Today is opening day of the American pass time game of Baseball. As a child we all played games. In playing games we learned valuable lessons of life. Teamwork, rules, boundaries, timing, character, fairplay, fun, and the list goes on.

My father was a baseball fan. Each year this day was special in our household, for we hared his happiness and joy for the game. Saturday and Sundays would find him always in his favorite chair watching what eeer team was playing. He worked hard and he played hard as he participated in the love for his game. When you feel people around you experience joy, the feeling is contagious.

So go out today and do what makes you happy. If you need help finding your passion, I am here to assist you.
