Pop quiz: What can a college student, an entrepreneurial grad student, a working mother escapee from the cubicle job world, and a 60-year-old business owner have in common on the subject of job seeking at a bad time? Read on….

Thanks!

I have struggled with balancing my finances with my passions, I hope to do it sometime soon through blogging. The Corporate World does nothing but drag people down, and I wish more people would realize that.

First of all, Happy Belated Birthday to dear little Angela.

I really enjoyed this post. I plan to share it with a close friend who shares Angela’s birthday, but precedes her by many years. She is absolutely miserable playing it safe in a Nursing job that she hates.

That is the operative word. Job.
I found myself writing down in my journal the other day how blessed I feel that I am not working, but rather living my passion.

I never was part of cubicle nation, but escaped the constraints of a hospital.

For the past 18 years it has been my pleasure to help mothers, babies and their families optimize their experience of breastfeeding.

Even when my business has quiet spells, I cannot bring myself to do anything else!

I’ve known about you for a while, but since I’ve never worked in the corporate world, and have always been an entrepreneur ( I haven’t had a “real job” since 1979), I never really checked you out. However, I’ve been seeing you in the blogosphere lately ( mostly on Havi Brooks site) and have been enjoying your comments there so I thought I would stop by!

This is a great post and made me think about my motivating principal for the work that I do and I think Transformation just about sums it up. I offer workshops that help people become more creatively self expressive and I love to watch what happens for people as they become more creatively confident, more playful and more alive as the workshop progresses. It thrills me every time!

So thanks articulating that concept.

I also have a fabulously creative husband who DOES work in the corporate world, is dying to get out , and so I am going to send him your way!

But how about we go further and discover our “life’s play” instead of our life’s work? Why not embrace the concept that we could get paid for something we’d happily, joyfully do for free?

Just a thought …

Blessings,
Andrea

I couldn’t agree more =). I’m passing this link on to my mom who’s having this conundrum right now. And happiest of birthdays to Angela. I can’t believe she’s a year already!

All the best.
