Peanut butter sandwiches

At a meeting recently, a business speaker told this story...

A workman sat down for lunch with his workmates and open his lunch box. "Peanut butter sandwiches again" he announced.

"Why don't you tell your wife you want something different" offered a workmate.

"I make them myself" said the workman.

This story made the room laugh, until the speaker suggested that we are often like the workman who want to change but never make the effort of changing.

Do what you love and love what you do

Most successful people find something that they really enjoy and then do it really well.

If you are talented or interested in something, why not make a career out of it, or develop your own business with the 'something special' at its core?

Life is far too short to keep doing something you're not passionate about, it's like being in a marriage with someone you don't love.

How do you find that something special?

• Ask people.
• Brain-storm ideas.
• Look back at when you were happiest.
• Try different things.

The most important piece of advice - Get off your backside and do it!
