I would encourage you to keep watching and not give up. I'm 48 and just now figuring it out, and I can't tell you how exciting it is to finally start gaining some clarity. My change actually came through a life-altering…"
Larry D. Bass replied to Larry D. Bass's discussion Finding Your Occupational Passion"Bob (and all you who responded...thank you). Actually I'm glad the boat is pretty full.

Bob Barhite replied to Larry D. Bass's discussion Finding Your Occupational Passion"This boat is pretty full. This is encouraging for me. Felt like I was the only having this problem.

What do you want to speak about? and of course you should join the speakers GROUP here on 48days.net.
I want to personally extend an invitation to you to join the group I am the host for a group called "Making A DREAM" where we are discussing our dreams and what we are doing to make them happen!
Since you are interested in starting another business, I invite you to challenge yourself with a FREE 7 day eCourse on my website. I offer this free because I want to introduce people to a different way of planning a business, the Agile way.
A Vision with out a Goal is just a Dream
A Goal without a Plan Is just a Wish
I hope you will join me in not just setting GOALS but making Agile PLANS to meet them.
Peace
