"Imagine you woke up this morning to a phone call saying you had won the state lottery. It was all yours, but there was a condition:
1. You had to continue to work for the rest of your life
and
2. you could use the money to live on,
but
3. NOT to fund any professional endeavor.
Now, what would you do?" - Jonathan Fields, Career Renegade book
(I added the numbers and the spacing for emphasis)
Often times you hear people saying "I don't have passion. I just got work to do." Most people have a job and do not work on their passion.
This is why I found this quote in a book, Career Renegade, that I am reading useful. If this scenario could be true then wouldn't you want it to happen after you started your dream job. I suspect that dream job is where your passion would be. Maybe you would fund the "professional endeavor" before you got the money.
Why wait?
Today's question is:
"If money was no issue, what work would you do?"
