Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow

I read this book back in the mid 80's when I was in the U.S. Navy when I was considering getting out - all I had experienced, what I was best suited for, all my broad and specialized schools and college.

Yet, I never truly sat down and looked at all the intangibles about for what I best achieved doing and what I loved doing.

Life is not perfect and mine was and is not, but having a resource (this book) to aid you in looking at yourself in a sole fashion without all you were told to do or expected to be may reveal what you love and that which will make you mentally, emotionally and financially peaceful, independent.

I believe I read the first edition of it before it had the subtitle, which I believe sums up the content of this book.

When I first read this there were only two chapters that related somewhat, solely to income - this is not advice on how to get rich quick, but it may help you be financially secure while doing what you love.

This is not some pipe dream. So many other factors affect our lives, detracting us from recognizing our skills, knowledge and talent. But, this may book may allow you to keep your dreams in sight.

This is not about you creating the next largest corporation or even being a part of such. And, it is not about you pissing off the world and thinking you are the greatest thing since fried grits.

Unless it changed much, which I doubt, the book is not a battery of evaluations tests or such nonsense. Read it slow, mark notes if need be and read it again.

I gifted three copies to three different people in the '80's. Most were acquaintances, friends perhaps, in Charleston. Within a year, all three called me to tell me they were changing their careers - not just where they worked, but to What They Loved To Do! That was strong.
