There isn't a current that I'm aware of. I'm came up with this a little while back and need to get back to work on it some more.
I do plan to start a local group through meetup to find some like-minded people. If all else I…"

Jared Latigo replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Talent Consortium in the group Know Your Niche - Own Your Market"I'm assuming that the group you want to start would be a way for you to get your name out there as well as help others? Is that correct?
If so, it seems you'd just need to gauge interest for the group. You may do so by meeting with other…"

Frances Butler replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Time Opportunities in the group Speak It Forward - REAL Success & Profit for Speakers and Trainers!"Uhm, my time opportunity is:
Sitting in front of the laptop and staring at the blank screen waiting for it to produce something, a word, a phrase, a sentence...anything.
Time lost is never regained!"
StrategyCoach Amanda Carter replied to Eric Swanson's discussion Time Opportunities in the group Speak It Forward - REAL Success & Profit for Speakers and Trainers!"Mostly, my time opportunities are finding others who want to jump on board with my business and become a part of the founding, or using mirco-job sites to help me get tasks done that I can do, but not without wasting time where I could be working…"

Time Opportunities
So I picked up an eBook the other day called Goal Getting, by some bald guy ;) Good book. I've nearly finished it, but it made me think about time. We all have the same amount in a day, yet some people get WAY more accomplished than others. These people rarely, if ever, say I have too much going on to get this done. Why you ask. They not only plan their time, but they have identified where they have opportunities to maximize their time.Let's face it, Time Opportunities is the PC way to say ways…See More

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 your goal/dream for 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 strongest talents? 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.
- Do you have a website presence anywhere?

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,…

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.
