Your Working Legacy

by | Nov 25, 2009 | 1 comment

Does your working legacy matter? So often people in miserable jobs use their kids as an excuse not to make a move. After complaining about their job, their boss, the company, the endless meetings which produce no results, and their lack of filling meaningful at work – I suggest they find something else to do!

Many times they explain to me that they have children to support – as if I was telling them to quit their job and go home and become a bum. But I have started asking them, “Do you want your children to go to college, get a job they hate, and feel stressed out and meaningless?” Their answer is ALWAYS “Of course not!”

But the truth is – this is very likely what your kids will do – after all  – it is what you have taught them!

What are you teaching yours?

What If Your Job Ended in 60 Days?

How to stop collecting business ideas and start building real options.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend months—or even years—thinking about making a change without actually doing anything?

Maybe you’ve considered consulting. Or starting a business. Or investing in real estate. Maybe you enjoy your job but are tired of the bureaucracy and restrictions that come with it.

You keep looking at possibilities.

You watch videos, read books, attend workshops, and talk with friends about what you could do.

But nothing really changes.

I think one reason is simple: There’s no urgency.

    This is me.
    I thought that my kid will understand my pains,but, yes, you are right, I am teaching what my kid will do after she grows up.
    What is “find something else to do”? quit my miserable job? moving to Silicon Valley to find a fun job? or start a local business?
    I have not decided yet, but after I read this blog, I think I should make a decision soon. Thanks, Dale.
