When I was a kid, my parents raised me with a good work ethic, to be proud of a good days work.

That being said, it’s not all that surprising that I spent 7 years of my life, working in the most dangerous job in the world, as an Alaska Deadliest Catch Fisherman.

Last week I was talking with a good friend of mine who works on the green chain at a local lumber mill.

And let me tell you, that’s some hard work too.

After 19 years, the job is now taking its toll on him (and his body).

As he was sharing his frustration with me, we began talking about how our parents raised us, and how the lessons they taught us don’t apply these days.

You see…

When we were kids, our parents would tell us that we needed to get good grades in school, so that we could then get into a good college and get a good education.

Then, once we were out of college, we’d be able to get a good job that pays us well.

And…

If we “work hard”, we’ll be able to advance in the job we’ve chosen, and our lives will be fulfilling.

Funny thing is, I still hear parents giving their children this advice today.

I don’t know about you, but from what I’ve seen, this advice hasn’t worked out too well for most of us.

It sure as heck didn’t work out for me.

In fact, it almost cost my life.

I spent 7 years fishing in Alaska, because that’s what I was taught to do.

It was a dangerous job, and though I got tired of working in the wet (and many times freezing) miserable weather, I continued to do it because that’s what I was taught to do.

I grew tired of working 24-36 hours straight, to then sleep for a short 6 hours, so I could get up and repeat this process over and over again, for weeks at a time.

But that’s what I was taught to do.

When I’d come back to Seattle on my time off, I detested the thought of going back on that boat, but I did it anyways, because that’s what I was taught to do.

Fortunately, after almost losing my life in 1995, I decided that enough was ENOUGH.

I finished my contract with the skipper, and got out of the fishing industry.

Though my story may be extreme, countless people find themselves in a VERY similar situation.

For years and years, they’ll “work hard” at a job they don’t even enjoy, wondering where the fulfillment is.

Wondering what happened.

Wondering… “Is this all there is from life”?

And that’s B.S. (pardon my language).

YES there’s MORE for you to have from life, and I’m proof of that.

Today I have a business that pays me for doing what I LOVE.

Where I get up each morning, excited for what the day has to offer.

Where I get to have a hand in helping people like yourself discover your passion, and just as I’ve done, turn it into a business that pays you extremely well for doing what you love.

Consider this your permission slip.

Your permission slip to expect, and get more from life.

Your permission slip to quit “working hard” at a job you don’t like, and start working at what you do enjoy – which by the way, isn’t work at all.

Since discovering this path for myself, I’ve spent the last 4 years of my life showing people like yourself, how to accomplish the same thing.

So…

If you’re reading this right now, and this has resonated with you in some way – then be sure to stay tuned.

I’ve got a BIG announcement coming soon, and it’s one that you won’t want to miss.

Dedicated to your success,
