claim your career bliss: interview with tad hargrave
“One of my mentors … his money vanished … like 2 million dollars of his life savings gone … In an interview he said: ‘I spent 40 years doing what I wanted to do. I still have those 40 years. I just lost the money. [Others] lost the money and the 40 years.’ … One…

claim your career bliss: interview with tanya geisler
“If it’s not hard, then it’s not important. Bliss is fluff, bliss is fun, bliss is joy. That’s for after you’re done working. That’s for Friday nights. That’s for a very small window. Bliss is for vacation. This is life baby. If you’re not sweating and working your fingers to the bone, then it’s not…

i’m fine, thanks.
Oh no. You’re not. Don’t even start with me. Seriously, when you tell someone “I’m fine, thanks” have you ever really paused to consider how not fine things really are? If you were really fine you would be on purpose, you would be singing your song (that only you can sing). By the way, you…

claim your career bliss: interview with geekstar paul jarvis
“[Entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs]* are afraid to be themselves in their work. They think [being authentic] isn’t professional, that people won’t like them, that their personality won’t match with everybody else’s. I know that my personality doesn’t match with everybody.

what was i thinking (when i decided to become an entrepreneur)?
So you’re considering entrepreneurship and thinking to yourself: “What am I thinking? I must be crazy!” Starting a business seems so risky after all. And maybe you’re like I was – almost mad at yourself that there isn’t some other way that you could be happy, doing something equally as gratifying without all of the…

claim your career bliss: interview with Liv Lane
“I want bliss everyday. And when I say that I want bliss everyday, some people think that saying that means that we won’t have difficult times. Bliss doesn’t erase grief or pain or anger. One of the reasons that bliss is possible because you’ve gone through those things.” – Liv Lane, Artist/Writer/Speaker/Mentor/Mama at LivLane.com Liv…

a real career conversation
Have you ever had a real conversation with someone about your career? Someone you felt safe with and could really trust? Probably not. And understandably.
