"Eric,
What a scary and yet exciting time for you right now. It is almost like you are on the cliff ready to be shoved into some great adventure!
I was "shoved" off my cliff when I lost my totally secure job where they couldn't…"

I had planned another topic for my second post, but this seems more important now.So it appears that my adventurous side may be getting some free time to think about my options, and my predictable, security-seeking side is not happy about it at all.I recently interviewed for what is essentially my job, the title and duties are changing, but it is in the position I hold. I made it to the second round of interviews and it was tough. I have been joking that it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they…See More
Ann Musico commented on Eric Swanson's blog post Multiple Personalities"I think we all share a bit of those 2 personality types! Well most of us anyway - I know I do. Your post was so honest and easy to relate to. Sometimes our strengths - the things that come so easily to us - almost sabotage us in a…"

There seems to be two distinct sides to my personality. One side likes everything to be safe and predictable. Nice 8-5 work schedule, paycheck every two weeks. The other side is more interested in not working a traditional schedule, being free to pursue whatever may come along.For a long time, I have felt a pull to try something of my own. To try to find my purpose. Something to make my family's life and other people's life better.I've always been told,"do something you love, and you'll never…See More
Eric Swanson replied to Joel Boggess's discussion Today’s reflection: Termination – Blessing or curse? in the group Finding your Voice"Interesting, I came on the site today to figure out where I needed to post something about being let go. I guess I found the right place.
I had to interview recently for what is essentially my job. We have had a major reorganization in our division…"
Skeeter Scott replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Thoughts about where I fit... in the group Know Your Niche - Own Your Market"I'm by far not the most educated person on here to comment but, the niche you've outlined seems like a fairly broad niche, wiki suggests that 10% of the population is left handed, that's still pretty huge. I'd guess that…"

Thoughts about where I fit...
Good Morning!I have been mulling over what my niche is and I 'd like some feedback. One of my defining characteristics is I'm left-handed (LH). To some people, that might not be a big deal, but if you are LH or know someone who is you understand lefties (as much as a non-leftie can understand us :))Along with wanting to help people learn to help themselves as far as their job and vocation, I also think that it would be beneficial to understand the LH thought processes. Also, that their are…See More
Farnoosh Brock replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Should I ask? in the group Finding your Voice"Hi Eric, good question, I would certainly ask but I would not let anyone decide FOR YOU. You are the one that deep down knows. They may open your eyes to areas of skills and natural talents that you are too close to see but then you have to really…"
Joel Boggess replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Should I ask? in the group Finding your Voice"Good morning Eric,
Great discussion. Thank you for staying involved with it.
Here is the worksheet I use with all of my clients.
Why don't you post some of the responses you get here in the forum?"
Profile Information
- How did you hear about 48Days.NET, and what do you hope to get out of being a part of this community?
- I heard about 48Days.net while reading 48 Days to the Work You Love. I love teaching and helping people and I feel like facilitating may be my calling.
I'm hoping to take the best ideas and make them my own to be successful and help others.
- What is your current work situation? Employee, self-employed, generating any income on your own?
- I'm a state employee.
- And then...what is the goal/dream you are striving for regarding your work life?
- I want my wife the flexibility to stay home if she wants and the flexibility for myself to be there when my kids need me to be there.
- How about your personal life? Any specific goals or achievements or dreams you are pursuing (or want to pursue)?
- I want to run my own business. I think this goal will get more specific with time, but running my own business has always been a dream
- 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!)?
- I'm an influencer, according to the personality profiles I have seen. I love to talk to people, and can be very passionate and persuasive about things I feel strongly about.
I offer the other perspective. I try in all situations to try and view it from the other person's perspective. This helps people identify with someone else, not always agree, but remember that there is always another side to the opinion.

PS Also, in case you're interested, I offer a free e-resource entitled Goal-Setting That Actually Works! to those who join the Make The Move email community (also free). I think you'll get a ton out of both resources.
