Enjoying the Work!

I was reading Rodney's post How are People Not Taking Advantage of this? Got me thinking about enjoying the work. Rodney mentions that this is his first business venture, and that he is really enjoying it.

This is not my first rodeo in the business world, but there is something unique about my experience here so far. I am truly enjoying the work. That is not something I have ever said before, and it got me thinking as to why that is true.

While reading Rodney's post it dawned on me that my adventures in the business world have been wholly unfulfilling for one of two reasons.

I have spent thousands of hours doing work that I didn't enjoy. Yes I made some money, sometimes even decent money, but my efforts were all going towards someone else achieve their dream.

Helping someone else achieve their dream isn't an inherently bad thing, and it is amazing when you can do that in conjunction with achieving your own dreams. However, I don't think many people find joy in working for something that isn't at all connected to their dream life.

I have also pursued business ventures that were my own with my own goals in mind. What I didn't enjoy about those efforts was that I was overwhelmed by going it alone and not having many of the answers to the questions I needed answered.

In short, I was overwhelmed by the process and frustrated by my lack of progress.

Since joining WA, I have enjoyed every moment of the work that I have put in, and it is a liberating feeling to say the least.

For the first time in my professional life I am working towards my own goals and feeling like I have the support system to get to where I want to be. I don't have all the answers yet, by any means, but I am no longer overwhelmed by that fact. I know where I can find them.

I have already seen more progress towards my desired reality than I have in any other business venture I have pursued, and that is a truly enjoyable experience.

Happy to hear you are enjoying the new line of work, Haven.
We better enjoy it, we are here for the long-haul!

That is the gist of life. I remember a bumper sticker from Ben and Jerry that said, “If it’s not fun, why do it?”

It struck a chord at fifteen, and it still rings true today. If we are seeking our life goals, we need to enjoy every day until the end.

Indubitably Haven, indubitably!

Perfectly worded. Couldn't have said it better. WA is AWESOME!!
Wendi :)

Thank you, Wendi.

The words are easy when you are simply telling the truth.

Haven

When you enjoy doing your work, it doesn't feel like working:)

I have heard that many times, Loes, but I can honestly say that this is the first time I have lived that reality.

Best,
Haven

I live that for 4 years now, I spend hours on my websites and I can do this without any doubt forever, I wished I had more time than forever;)

That is amazing! Really, the root of all my specific goals is the overarching goal of enjoying every day I have on this planet.

It is quite a feeling to know that what you are building is yours and your own accomplishment. go for it.
Jerry

It really is, Jerry. Perhaps more amazing is feeling like I will get to where I want to be.

Thanks for reading,
Haven
