Publisher's Synopsis
On a Monday morning a happy man walks into work. He greets his co-workers with a big smile, and an enthusiastic "Good Morning!". In his small cubicle, he sits. With an abundance of confident energy, he starts to write an idea that is going to change the company's (and his) financial future. Just three months ago, this same man was bitterly responding to Friday's unfished emails - now thinking beyond his cubicle he is on a clear path to the executive suite...
Who here is sick of the rat race? You know what I mean, waking up each and every morning, going to a job you hate, working for a cause you don't believe in... What a miserable existence! There is so much more than spending all your time working your life away for someone else, am I right!?If the above paragraph is how you feel about your career, let me first say I get it . Not too long ago that was how I woke up every morning, constantly plotting my escape from the 9-5 with grandiose ideas about entrepreneurship. That path led me to even more frustration. Now instead of 40 hours a week, I was working 60 trying to get an idea that I thought I was passionate about off the ground. Life became a constant clutter of what to do next!
Success should not be defined only by what you do in life. Instead, we should consider making goals to find more enjoyment with what we do, including our careers. What if we looked at being fulfilled at work as a measure of success. If we made this the goal, we would start to organically find what it is that truly makes us happy.
