I’ve been visualizing and applying Law of Attraction to get my dream job.

As of now, I’ve achieved part of my dream job. I can work any time any where and where ever I want to. I also work at home, close to my family. I just need the streaming passive income :)

1. Own a small, local bar that is a great little after work stop and busy enough on the weekends. Think Cheers…I’ve already got the name picked out but don’t know a thing about running a bar.

2. Travel the country speaking to children and people struggling with debt on steps they can take to begin the journey to debt freedom.

3. Stock broker/trader. I don’t have a lot of time to do it now but I am hooked on technical analysis and would love to do that for a living.

How am I getting there? I was able to lessen my hours to part-time so I can focus more on golf. And I’ve started a website about my dream that helps me keep focused and maybe eventually help me quit my part-time job.

But in the long run, if I play well on tour, I could earn enough money so that my wife could quit her job and focus more on helping others. The more money I make, the more I will have the ability to help others as well. I will also have more of a wider opportunity to share with more people what Christ has done for me and for us.

My dream job–will I attain it? I don’t know but I will give it everything I’ve got. And if it doesn’t work out, maybe this book would be helpful.

This is question is ironic because my wife and I talked over dinner about me going back to school to do something that I really want to do. I am in the exploring stage but my goal is to get back in school this fall.

I loved working in journalism the moment i started writing. but my father kept telling me to be realistic – i need to eat, survive and pay bills and urged me to reconsider. i didn’t and when i only lasted two months at my first newspaper gig because i needed to work on my writing, i thought it was a sign i should work in business like finance or accounting.

so i spent the last year in a job i hate where there’s no room for advancement or growth. and im staring at the computer for 8 hours a day making numbers look good.

when the new year hit i realized a year had passed and it was time to stop wasting my potential. so i pitched a story idea at the suggestion of a friend and i got paid for it. now im freelancing regularly, cutting articles out of the paper taking apart the paragraphs to see how the writer structured it and im taking an online news writing course. so im taking a lot of different steps to improve my writing so i dont have as difficult of a time when i move into the job of my dreams again.

i’d definitely love to win a copy. i’ve been inspired by so many blogs to take charge of my finances, my career and my goals.

I left journalism after I only lasted a few months at my first newspaper job because my writing needed major work. So I spent the first year depressed and trying to get out of a slump. When the new year hit I realized time’s going to keep passing me by if I don’t take action. So I pitched my first story idea and now i’m freelancing sort of regularly but also working on my writing challenges. i’m taking an online news writing course, i cut out articles from the paper and take apart the structure to figure out how the writer put it together and i’m practicing the craft.

So by freelancing, taking classes and taking apart stories and figuring out the structure, that’s how i’m going to pursue my dream of being a mag writer. that and showing people my portfolio.

I started work after college as an administrative assistant (shudder) and then discovered that work didn’t have to be terrible after I took a risk and left that safe-though-dead-end-and-mind-numbing job to be a part-time radio news anchor.

I fell in love with journalism again after ignoring it for a few years, and found that the feeling of informing the public is one of the big intangibles that really make my life worthwhile.

I’m on my way to this goal…I’ve been studying midwifery and birth for a decade, and have a busy practice as a labor support doula and massage therapist. I’m working toward become a midwife.

As well, I do travel to teach doula trainings and am working on my first book. Part of my journey has been learning to value my work and make money through various streams of income. I am grateful to make my living doing work I love.

However I love my dream of becoming a midwife, I’m still trying to reconcile work that I love with work that makes money. Midwives aren’t rich, and I’d like to be.

I’m trying to focus on finance – I’d like to be a CFP – but more often my job is leading me more and more down a SEO/marketing/consulting gig (at least it’s not development anymore!)

I’d love to own a brewery, or a burger joint – I talked to the owner of one in my home town (Crabill’s Hamburgers.. yum…) and am considering opening one in a couple college campuses (campii?) at some point – preferably after I’m done with my finance degree. We’ll see in a year or two.

This year, my goal is to give 12 trainings/classes/workshops/etc. in 12 months while I still work at my “pay the bills” job. I’ll keep increasing those numbers each year, and by Year 5 I plan to be living off my dream job.

Thanks for the opportunity to put it into words (it really helps!)

Think about it…what better job could there be than creating the world’s oldest and most popular beverage. Helping choose the finest quality ingredients. Creating something that people of all ages and all walks of life enjoy. I would love to travel the world and see and learn how different countries make – and enjoy – their beer. Oh what joy to savor all the nuances of the grand beverage…to have common ground with people that goes beyond language barriers….yeah, that is a dream.

As it’s only in the last year I raelized why I have a math minor (playing with numbers fascinates me), I’m slowly trying to find a way into a more numbers-oriented job.

My dream job would never feel like a job to me. My dream is, and has been since I was in high school, to own my own summer camp in the mountains of Colorado. The summer camp would focus on developing kids’ self discipline, faith, love of the wilderness, self confidence, and ability to relate to others.

The main activities would be fly fishing, hiking, camping, survival, white water rafting, canoing, astronomy, rock climbing, and the ropes course (what every camp needs). The camp would be established in a small valley with the guys camp on the left hill and the girls camp on the right hill. The dining hall and main meeting room would be established in the pit of the valley.

In the off seasons (not summer) I would hold family retreats there where parents and children, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, could come and get away in the mountains and learn about each other and connect in new ways. These retreats would focus on helping parents understand the right attitudes to have with their kids and how kids could contribute to their families.

You said to elaborate, so I hope this is ok.

What makes me think I’m something special? Well, I took this IQ test and scored in the top 0.1%! No way am I going to take the test again – after all it could have been a bit of a fluke…

PS
A big thank-you to Flexo for THE best PF blog out there, you’ve got the common sense that appeals very much to me.
