Do you LOVE what you do?

Do you LOVE what you do for a living?  You  know that job where you spend a large portion of your life. Put another way, if you did not get paid for what you do, would you still do it?

I LOVE what I do. I honestly wish I could afford to do it without getting paid and I most certainly would continue to do it.   I LOVE helping people reach goals that they never thought they could, I LOVE spreading the word about dog fitness and I LOVE watching people do new activities that they never even knew about!  I also LOVE coaching others to start a business that they are passionate about.

I think it is sad when people are dissatisfied in their current “job”.  Life is so short and the older we get, the shorter it becomes.  It is hard to leave a well paid job to chase after your passion but it is definitely doable.  I love it when my friends stop working corporate jobs that they hate and that are stressing them out to start their own businesses and you know what, they never regret it! They make it work!

I am part of two extremely fun and rewarding businesses.

The fitness business is booming and it is like no other. My fitness entrepreneur friends are willing to sacrifice everything to help others. It is very humbling to be around them! I can honestly say that they are some of the the best people that I have ever met!

The other business is the pet industry. It is another run and rewarding business.   Keeping our pets healthy is so important. They are our “kids” and mean the world to us.

So where am I getting at with all of this?  I recently just attended two conferences.  The WIPN conference was for the pet industry in Portland, OR and the Todd Durkin Mastermind Group retreat was for the fitness industry.

It was so awesome to see two large groups of people do businesses that they LOVE to do!  Of course, with all businesses there are parts of it that are overwhelming, you work long hours and sometimes you are working when others are out seeing movies or watching their favorite reality TV shows  BUT you are doing what you LOVE to do and it is very rewarding!   You are surrounded with people that you LOVE to be with.  You are INSPIRED every day to work hard, do your best and learn new things!

I believe that you can make ANYTHING work.  Is there a dream that you are thinking about that you wish that you could do?  If you could do anything, what would it be?

What are you doing in your off hours? Can you work on that dream then?  Can you make it a reality so that you are HAPPY and FULFILLED?  Do you want to make a difference?  Do you want to invent something?  Do you want to change careers?  What are you waiting for?  

The game changer for me was listening to the book “Living in your Top 1%” by Alissa Finerman. I listen to audible, podcasts and read many business and self help books but this book really resonated with me.

If you are unhappy with your current situation, you don’t feel fulfilled or just need a change. I encourage you to start down the path! It is NEVER too late.  Did you know that Harland Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was 62!

I have watched so many people leave what they HATE to do something they LOVE! From bloggers to health coaches to pet store owners and dog trainers! It is very exciting to watch!

Come on!! SHARE with us your passion and dream and then start working toward it!
