Are you working towards your dream job? A few weeks ago, I attended a meeting with my department and a human resources representative. I work in the corporate world, which I do enjoy. In this session, we were asked a few questions as an ice breaker exercise. One question was “What is your dream job?” I looked around the class and thought to myself, could anyone answer this honestly? Should we all say it is what we are doing today? Will the answer be held against us? My co-workers were honest in their responses, which ranged from a sailor to opening up an ambulance/rescue for animals to even a cupcake taster.
I love my current full time job as a Communications Manager/Project Manager. But is it my dream job? I feel confident that I can answer this honestly without feeling guilty – no. My dream job is to be more available to my children while writing books. I have a list of ideas for novels but it is finding the time to actually sit and write them. I will, though. My dream started small – it was to write and publish one book. Now, I desperately want to continue. I financially need my full time job but nothing will stop me from following my passion. Dream Big is my advice for my children!
I have marketed my book on a radio show, newspaper article and social media. Starting this weekend my focus needs to switch to finishing my second book, Good Intentions Bad Decisions. You may have noticed on Facebook the mention about a contest. Well here it is – with my focus switching, I need your help!! I would like to continue to see my first book, Don’t Stand Still, still grow. I am offering a prize to the first 20 people to share on Facebook - the title of my book (and a link to it), your review and tag me to this status. The prize will be a sneak preview of Good Intentions Bad Decisions by September 18th. You will learn about the characters in the book and touch on the plot.
Thank you for your support,
