He returned four years later, and couldn't believe how much his dad had learned.” — Mark Twain. “Dream job is where I'm spending most of my day using my talent to do what I love, passionate to produce results that matter to me. And I'm doing it in a place that's healthy, where I'm cared for. And I'm developed and given up.” “You can actually get out of this rut that you have created for yourself.” “You have chosen to stay put because of one of three things and maybe all three of these things. Fear that's worried about something bad happening. Doubt, that's not believing that something good can happen. Pride, you care more about what other people think, than what you believe. Now those are voices that have taken up residence inside of your head and they have quieted your heart.” “Journaling is one of the top habits of the best leaders out there.” “Fear sometimes can talk so loud, that no rational thought gets through.” “If you want to have the best business possible, it starts at home, and what your relationships are like at home that bleeds into work.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Samuel Adams: A Life by Ira Stoll (https://tinyurl.com/SamuelAdamsALifeBook) Developing The Leader Within You by John C.

Ken Coleman joins today's episode to explain why people who work to contribute are a thousand miles ahead of the people who work for a paycheck. Ken is a national bestselling author, a career expert, and a national radio host whose expertise comes from years of personal struggles, career misses, and opportunities lost. He says that every person on earth is born with something that they can do well. The key is to win over “the most difficult, intention-filled wrestling match” that happens in our lives and to have the will to keep going knowing that “your time will come.” “We think patience is a passive discipline but it's not. Patience is acting and expecting.” -Ken Coleman In this Episode: How the average person looks at work and the missing element in their work that is present in the person who works to contribute. The 2 key areas in life that thrive on purpose. 3 indicators to success that can only be found through looking inward or introspection. The 3 validating questions you need to ask yourself if you are looking for ways to expand your business or start in the entrepreneurial world.

Mitch Matthews | Bridge Jobs: The key to finding your dream job This week, Mitch Matthews helps you to answer the question: “How do I get there from here?” In his research for his upcoming book, “Dream Job: Redefined - The New Rules for Creating a Career that Matters and Doing Work You Love,” he found story after story of people either finding or creating their dream job. The key was that they started with what Mitch calls a “Bridge Job.” In this episode, Mitch will explain what a Bridge Job is, why you need one, how to select one and/or how to retrofit your current job into one. This powerful strategy has helped countless people get unstuck and finding a career that matters and work they love. Please share this powerful episode. Listen To The Podcast: He looked polished and professional. But… deep down... his eyes were sad. His question was, “So how do I get to my dream job from where I'm at now?” My response “Find a Bridge Job.” I understood his question. He wasn't in a dream job. He didn't love his work and he didn't feel like his work really mattered. He longed for a career where he could feel passion for what he did on a day to day basis… but he wasn't there. More importantly, even though he was unfulfilled in his current work… he didn't have a ton of spare time or spare cash. He couldn't just take a month off to “find himself.” He couldn't just quit and take some blind leap of faith. He had responsibilities. He had things (and people) he needed to take care of. So… he needed a “Bridge Job.” What's a “Bridge Job?” I cover it in this week's DREAM THINK DO episode. Plus, I talk through how to either find a Bridge Job or retrofit your current job into a Bridge Job… so you can finally get to your next Dream Job. And don't worry… this isn't some airy-fairy approach pointing you to some unrealistic… cotton candy… rainbow-puffy-print type dream job. (Although cotton candy is pretty tasty.) Nope. I used this approach myself to launch my own dream career. Plus, in all my research for my upcoming book, “Dream Job: Redefined,” I saw this same strategy used by many of the people I'd interviewed who'd either FOUND or CREATED their own dream jobs. So I wanted to share it with you! Enjoy… and let me know what stands out to you. Leave a comment and let me know which part of this approach you're going to try. Keep bringing your awesome, Mitch
Mitch Matthews | On Track to YOUR Dream Job! This week, Mitch dives into some of the most important concepts from his new book, “Dream Job: Redefined - The New Rules for Creating a Career That Matters and Doing Work You Love.” The book is based on hundreds of interviews Mitch did with people who had found or created dream jobs. Listen in and get on track to creating a career you love. Listen To The Podcast: The subject of “Dream Jobs” can make some people bristle. I get it. With so many people unhappy and unsatisfied in their work situation, it's easy to assume that “Dream Jobs” are as real as unicorns, little fairies and rainbow-colored pixie dust. But… Dream Jobs exist. How do I know? I've interviewed 200+ people who have them. People doing work that matters to them. Real work. Real careers. I LOVED hearing their stories and their strategies so much… I just had to write a book on the subject. It's called, “Dream Job: Redefined - The New Rules for Creating a Career that Matters and Doing Work You Love.” In this week's DREAM THINK DO episode, you and I will do a deep dive into some of the most important concepts in the book. PLUS… I offer you a way to get an advanced copy of the book for FREE! So listen in and be sure to grab your free copy. I believe THIS is your year for either FINDING or CREATING your dream job! So let's get to it. By the way… comment below and let me know your thoughts. What's an aspect of YOUR Dream Job? I'd love to hear from YOU!
