Thank you for your reply. My eyes have been opened. I was just shooting out a number on the 20+ hours at church. I was figuring time at church and everything I do for church at home. I just sat down and actually calculated my hours…"

The problem I am having is we just lost our worship leader and now have two new worship leaders. Both are long time members of the church. Doing the scheduling, working with the leaders and the teams is a great thing and I really love o do it. I have a vision for were worship should go within the…See More

After the deal we had working on a building fell through we contiuned to try for 2 more years…See More

- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- Currently I am an automotive technician. Employed by a small Ford Dealership. I have disliked the politics and issues of this career for the past 15 years or so. I do it to get by because it is a fair pay check.
- And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?
- My goal/dream was to start a roller skating rink. My family and I were in the process when we purchased all the equipment needed, the lease deal fell through and the economy tanked. Anyways. I have let this discourage me. I am in the process of listening to the No More Mondays Audio book and going through 48 days. I do want to turn my life around and do something I enjoy doing for a living.
- How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
- My family and I would like to move to Oregon closer to my wifes famliy. Hopefully my parents who are in California will eventually move there also. (They were going to move to Arizona a year or two after us but it never happened) We have been in AZ for about 6 years now. My Goal is to learn what my calling is and begin to build a business that will allow me to work mostly from home (This way when it comess time to move the business can go with us)
- What would you say are your core competencies? How are you 'wired' and what can you offer to the world (it's OK if you don't know yet, but knowing is key to pursuing your dreams!)?

Hi David,
Thank you for writing back and sharing. I appreciate your trust and confidence.
If you'd like, we can carve out some time to chat. That way I can get a better understanding of your situation and how we can help.
It is usually easiest for you to talk in the morning, or is afternoon/evening better in your schedule?
