"This is how romance novelist Barbara Cartland wrote a staggering 900 (yes, that's nine hundred) books. She knew her purpose in life, and set about accomplishing it very neatly. The night before she began each new book, she'd ask her soul to get ready to deliver the next book."

Perhaps your fear centers on money, or that you're not "smart enough," or that you'll fall flat on your face. Let's face it, shaking up your life is scary.

Ah, the fantasies... make your own hours, invent your own rules, choose your own associates, express your creativity, and make unlimited money. These are the dreams of the aspiring self-employed. Yet, if you interview people who have built a profitable business, they will tell you about the long hours, financial insecurity, lost contracts, loan problems, self-employment tax, and the daily dance with risk that it takes to run your own business. On the positive side, there are many self-employed folks who thrive on the excitement and challenge of designing their own company. What’s the best option for you? Are you emotionally ready for the journey?Entitled to Be Exceptional - by Douglas Eby
Finding Your Niche in Life - by Suzanne Falter-Barns
Gifted Women: Identity and Expression by Douglas Eby
"Trust the process. A calling calls to remind you to enter the mystery of instinct and the metamorphosis of an inspired life. Honor your passion to emerge. Say yes to a supernatural, all-natural self within. Then let creativity transport you to the borderless places, the magical spaces, where caution cannot tread." Tama J. Kieves - from her book "This Time I Dance!.."How to Find Your Purpose in Life - by Suzanne Falter-Barns
Living an Inspired Life - by Dr. Sheri A. Rosenthal
Don Miguel Ruiz, author of “The Four Agreements” and my personal mentor, spoke on more than one occasion about living one’s life in a totally different way than we had been taught to live; what he called ”living the will of God.” What he was asking us to imagine, was living our lives from the heart, to explore and open up to all of the opportunities life has to offer...Opportunity Knocks: Creative Alternatives to Having a Job - by Valerie Young
The Power of a Clear Intention - By Kinney Dancair
Humans are born into this world with their work already in them. Imagine there is something like DNA with you that has the message of your purpose in this world encoded inside of it. There are several scientific theories about how and where a person's purpose is actually encoded; however, suffice it to say that in whatever form a person wishes to imagine, the purpose of his life is in fact encoded into his personality.
The Real Lebowskis by Johnny Angel

By employing a few simple techniques, I was able to help Ellen come up with not one, not two, not three, but seven ways to make a living doing exactly what she loves.
Those "Crazy" Business Ideas Often Turn Out to Be the Best - By Valerie Young
When Bob Page told his friends and family he wanted to quit his auditing job to start his own business, they were less than encouraging to him. Well, that's actually an understatement. Basically what they told him was he was crazy. Fortunately he didn't listen. ... In his first year he grossed more than $150,000 in sales. And in 2002, sales exceeded $69 million -- definitely more than he'd made in his auditing job.
Want to Change Careers? Think Life First, Work Second - by Valerie Young
The author was introduced by the show's host as a "Lifestyle Entrepreneur Expert."

YOUR CORE VALUES The Foundation for Your Success - Having more purpose, passion and meaning in your life.
There are many roads to take -- and countless mountains to climb. But what if you get to the top only to find you've been climbing the wrong mountain?
Sound core values are the foundation of a truly successful life. Without clear and meaningful values, any success you achieve is short-lived or unfulfilling -- perhaps both.
This course is designed to position you to achieve lasting -- and meaningful -- accomplishment.
In order for you to create excellence there must be a strong foundation for you to build upon. Build that foundation with solid values and a strong sense of purpose...> a program from : Success Networks International

 Self-knowledge has always been the key to preparing for competition. Knowledge of your attributes, abilities, interests, strengths, weaknesses, and traits is essential to riding the front end of the wave of change into the new century. |
To fully assess
your own talents, realize that studies confirm that what we love and do
well as children continues as our latent or manifest talent as adults. Examination of your weekend or evening interests might reveal a gem of potential you can apply to your vocation. I strongly suggest you don't
unthinkingly relegate what you love to do for yourself solely to
hobbies. You might make it, or at least integrate it into your life's
work. > Denis Waitley - from his article Conducting a Personal |

site of Mark Albion : "In 1988, [he] chucked the prepackaged definition of success that had buoyed him at Harvard. But what was he going to replace it with? He wasn't sure. But he knew he had to do work that mattered. Albion never did find the right "job" -- but after much struggle, he invented one: He launched an electronic newsletter. He started a business. And he wrote a book." [from article at FastCompany.com, Jan:Feb.2000]Next Level Business & Professional Coaching
"Everyone has their own unique work to do. When you do it, it is easy and flows. For some it is difficult to discover what their purpose is. But not finding it means missing out on what we were meant to do on this Earth.. It is easy, especially in this culture, to distract ourselves by meaninglessness." - Dorene Lehavi, PhD - from her article Your Life's WorkRobert Rabbin - the examined life
"Our purpose is not a thing. It is not a box. It is not a job classification. It is not a particular entrepreneurial adventure. It is not something we can articulate definitively. It most certainly is not anything that can be found outside of ourselves. Purpose refers to what we hear within our heart, moment-to-moment. Our purpose in life is found as we align with the spontaneous and creative impulses of our heart, such that whatever we do and wherever we go, we bring the expression of our own creativity, our own passion, our own authenticity. .. in response to the deepest currents of inspired creativity." Robert Rabbin
