"The more you want to do something the less it seems like work" - Hugh Prather

This is a quote from poet Hugh Prather that I am blessed to be able to live out every day.

I have my dream job, and cannot imagine doing anything else.

What's your dream job?

One of my passions is a desire for others in the helping professions to feel the same joy and excitement I do each day. Part of my dream job is as President of BuildingYourIdealPractice.com where we teach private practitioners how to create their ideal practice and fill it with their best clients.

So what is your dream job? What would you most like to do? If you could create your perfect work day, what would it be like? Now, what if you could create a week, a month, a year, a lifetime, of those perfect days?

Part of my motivation for building by dream job is what I watched my father, and thus our family, go through when I was a kid. My dad worked for the federal government, and was often transferred around. From August of 1969 to March of 1971 we went from Miami to Kansas to Virginia to Washington, D.C. to Orlando. Four schools in seventh grade.

Not gonna happen to my kids if I can help it.

What's your motivation?

What drives you? Most people are driven by one of two things: inspiration or desperation. Go with inspiration before you have to go with desperation.

One more thing - an important fact to remember here is that boss spelled backwards is 'double s ob.'
