Ok, so I'm going through a life change (no, not menopause) and from what I can remember I've never had a "dream job". So I'm curious - what is your dream job? What would it take for you to get your dream job? Or are you currently working your dream job?
My dream job would be being a rock star. That fantasy is long gone. My second choice is what I do -- being a college professor. I work 26 weeks a year and have my mind engaged for 26 weeks a year, not necessarily two sets that totally intersect.
Well, when I realized I couldn't be a Beatle, I tried to carry on as best I could...Bob's advice is good, but I couldn't quite build a marketing model around drinking beer, smoking pot, and hanging out at the beach. I fell into home building because it sorted suited my life-style. While grueling at times, there are great moments of satisfaction. I can drive down the road and see things I have accomplished. I can have visions of something I want to make, and then just go out and make it. I bet Paul McCartney wishes he could do that...
I'm passionate about the idea of retirement. In fact, I think it's my calling. It's a paradigm shift based on the Mind Your Own business model. I look at it as a growth opportunity, and I'm willing to ramp up when the time comes. Until then I'll fake it til I make it. It's not what you know, it's who you know. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities and intend to stretch my goals with a motivated positive mental attitude and purpose-driven outlook. At the end of the day, it is sure to be a win-win situation. I'm data-driven, and intend to wrap my head around this idea. Call me a visionary who thinks outside the box.
The only thing I ever remember wanting to do is a family and the chaos that goes along with kids and I have that, but the income I bring in by being a wife & mom isn't anywhere on the pay scale.
