Event description

FYI - the workshop is from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, not PM as previously listed.

Ah, yes! The self-employed, entrepreneurial life. No boss for you. You set your own hours. Up at dawn, heading to the office. Have to make more phone calls, make more widgets, make more sales, make more, make more, make more...! Home by dark, work on marketing, tomorrow's schedule, employee crises and head to a networking event. Home by midnight.

Or...

Up at 5:00 am, chug some coffee or Red Bull and hit the commute. Eight hours of the same old, same old. Join the lemmings on the road home. Veg out and repeat. 176 hours per month, 2080 hours per year, 90,000+ hours of your life. Minimum.

Sound familiar? Sound like "living"? What if you could turn something you love into something that feeds you - mind, body and soul - and fills your bank account?

Even if you are a small business owner, you may feel like the business owns you. Is it time to evaluate and change course? How could incorporating your passions help you expand your business?

At Create Your Career you will learn:

  • 3 Ways to Discover Your Passions
  • 3 Ways to Make Money With Your Passions
  • 3 Ways to Get Started Now

I will also answer these four questions: why, how, what and what if.

You will leave with renewed energy and excitement about your business or your work. Plus, one workshop participant will be selected to receive a free 30-day Create Your Career makeover.

What better time than now to add passion and joy to your life? What better place than Mosaic Coffeehouse.

Please bring money for food and drink and a small donation to show appreciation for the meeting space.

    Richard, I've been to too many workshops to count and I have to say I was blown away by what I realized at this one. I was only looking for my passion in my happy place. I don't want to say too much because I want everyone to experience this process for themselves. I will say, you will be surprised by how much deeper and clearer you will become after this session with Richard about your passions and your career and even your life!

    Richard - I enjoyed the workshop "Working more and enjoying it less?" You brought out 3 very different ways to discover your passion. I would have not thought of the other 2 as passions. I would suggest this workshop to everyone that questions their current career and looking to transition into someting more meaningful.

    Hi folks, Sorry I'm going to have to cancel. I've been on vacation this week and the truth is that the only appointments I have 'in real time' are my two biznik events this day, so we're going to extend our family time together. I know Richard has taught this before by himself (and I've seen a demo during our Engage! event) and so I know you're going to have a great time. Until next time, Warmly, Leif

    Miss this event at your peril.

    This is an event that clarified some themes in my life and was very useful. If I can swing it, I am going to repeat and see what other things about myself I can learn.
