1. I want to do well at my job, but I don’t want to neglect my dream.

2. It is essential to have a high competitive drive to be a successful entrepreneur?

3. I can’t envision any one job that can encompass all of who I am and the varied gifts I have.

4. I’m charting a new path from my comfortable but uninspiring career.

Other notes:
The Five Predictors of Success – regardless of your personality type:
1. Passion
2. Determination
3. Talent
4. Self-Discipline
5. Faith

Use this rule of thumb for organizing your work strategy:
- Work where you are the strongest 80 percent of the time.
- Work where you are learning 15 percent of the time.
- Work where you are weak 5 percent of the time.

Quotation – “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” — From Oh, the places you’ll go – Dr. Suess

    I had a humanities teacher in high school that, at the end of each class, put some “good stuff” on the board. It was actually bits of historical trivia that he just liked to add. In fact, we could get bonus points for remembering some of his “good stuff.” This is worth committing to memory and placing on the “good stuff” board!

    The answer to the 3rd question was an “aha” moment for me when dan said, “a job is simply ONE tool for a successful and meaningful life…”. This whole time, I had been thinking that a good job would fill all aspects of my life. No wonder, I haven’t found a job like that! I just find it so hard to think that work isn’t everything in life because this world sure acts like it is.
