The Job of my dreams

I wish I had this much passion for my previous jobs. It would have been awesome to work for a company that I could stand behind proudly. That I could work for a company that would be so great I would rave about it to all my friends and try to get everyone to come in and be a customer or client. I would love working there. I would love all my co-workers. I would love the work that we did and know that it was making a difference in people's lives.

I never had a job like that.

I loved my co-workers. I had some great bosses. I never was passionate about my work though. I never could stand behind the company. I always was a tiny bit ashamed of where I worked. I was a tiny bit ashamed of my career. What did I really give back to the world? Another flyer? Another cd case that they would just throw away? Another brochure that no one would really read? Who cares if that business card is designed super awesome.. does anyone even care or notice?

I guess I could have tried harder to find a job that I loved. I could have searched and interviewed and I would have eventually found a JOB that would make me feel fullfilled.

Is it that I didn't want to wait? Was I too impatient? In the end I feel that I wouldn't be able to really be fullfilled in my career unless I was in control of the company. I don't meet many people with my values. They are few and far between! I didn't want to wait.. I didn't want to waste time searching. I knew I had it in me to create this job and this new career.

Now I am creating a business that will bring in people that have the same drive in life that I do. I am finding others with my passion! I am finding the people I wanted to work with.

I created my job. I created a whole new career.

Is this the best choice?
Should I have waited?
Would that job be out there still waiting for me?

I am taking initiative. I am creating this career. The work, the money, the customers.. they will find me. I am MAKING it happen instead of waiting for it to happen. Nothing really comes from waiting around. You have to dive in! You have to make mistakes! How else could I meet these people I want to work with? How else can I be friends with rockstars? How else can I be friends with movers and shakers and empire builders?

It was the biggest risk of my life. Now I have the job of my dreams.
I think it was worth it. :)
