Are You Working At A Job That You Hate??
If you are… STOP IT!
I’ve come to realize that we are here on this planet to find JOY in all we do. Too many people are running around each day going to a job that they HATE!
I spent the day in the New York City yesterday visiting a client, and then walking around for a few hours. Most of what I saw were people rushing around trying to get to their J.O.B (Just Over Broke) on time. They were not anywhere near enjoying the present moment. You could see the frustration and discouragement in their eyes… kinda sad.
I challenge you to do what you LOVE! When you do what you love, so many other things fall into place. That is why I love the life of being an entrepreneur! Nobody tells me where to be or when… I have total CHOICE!
We all do… what are you CHOOSING? If you are working at a job you hate… STOP DOING IT! Check out this quick video I shot for you while I was in the city yesterday, outside Madison Square Garden. I apologize for the lack of stillness in holding the camera 
Watch it now:
If you want to check out some of my other entrepreneur buddies who are living the dream, head over to see Katie Freiling, Kary Rogney and Chris Kilber.
So are you READY to do what you LOVE?

Eric, you are a very wise young man. Thank you for your inspirational videos. My passion is in the health and wellness for myself and everybody else. I want to get my message out there but am working alone at this moment. If you are looking for another business opportunity, I am looking for a business partner just like yourself. You would be great at what I do!! Looking forward to your next video.

Alice,
Thank you for your words:)
I’d be open to speaking with you to
see if I can be of any service. I will
send you an email to connect…
Great advice, Eric. I left my J.O.B. not too long ago, and it was the best decision I ever made. I’ll tell you the biggest kick for me: the sense of control. In a job someone is always telling you what to do. In your own business you call the shots.
It’s also great to have the freedom to work when you want, and to have the opportunity to take advantage of situations when they arise. Like your ability to just cruise the city while your there. You don’t have to rush back to the office.
I have many passions, and I’m now using the Internet to leverage my ability so share those passions with others.
With some basic planning and maybe a little sacrifice, you CAN do what you love, and you’ll be much happier for it.

Congrats Jason on leaving your J.O.B!
It really is all about having control over
your own life… what a great feeling:)
Eric,
Love the inspiration!! It’s so true about the J.O.B…something I will NEVER go back to myself! Keep on doing what you do…you’re blog is AWESOME!! i may need to get some tips from you as I am a little more behind….
Btw- have the most AMAZING time at DWD..I wish I could go again! I can’t wait to hear what you think about it!
Life will definitely NEVER be the same again my friend!
Live with Passion!!

Keep shining Eleni…

Jaime,
Thanks Jaime! Your blog is
awesome… i love the look and
feel. Keep sharing that value
my friend…
Great video! It is so true that people just wander through life miserable without connecting to others. While I am out today I am going to make it a point to stop and talk to people and make connections. Keep on rockin and posting these awesome videos!
Hey Little Sis (Jill),
Go out there and make those connections
and WAKE UP those miserable people:)
Dude…thanks for sharing part of New York with me. I’ve been there but its been quite awhile.
I’m also lovin’ being “myself” and I can tell you are as well. Keep up all the awesome work buddy. It’s so great to connect with you.

Aaron,
I’ll be sharing more of NY on my blog.
I figured it’s one of the biggest cities
in the world, and I’m right here… so
i’ll be shooting some of my videos in
and around the city to share it with
others.
Keep BEing yourself my friend:)
I just LOVE the city, Eric, I live near Philadelphia, so I spend a lot of time there, but NYC is just as awesome. it\’s funny because there is such a great energy, but if you look a little deeper, you are absolutely right. I see zombie faces on the train and absent-minded looks from people I pass on the streets. What a shame to not enjoy every day to it\’s fullest. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others to follow their dreams…we should meet up one day for lunch (my schedule is flexible!)
Theresa,
The city is AWESOME! Such an amazing
place with SO much going on:)
I’d love to meet up one day within the
next few weeks. I should be back in the
city either next week or the week after.
Let’s connect on that:)
Thank you Eric for sharing this well explained video about happiness and freedom.
I\’m living this life since taking charge of my destiny.
You\’re a great leader!
Daryl
Great to hear Daryl that you’ve
taking charge of your destiny…
Keep rockin’
I am so happy I am work from home. Slaving for someone else to make them rich just wasn’t my thing any more. I am with you bro keep telling the truth.
Right on Mike! Congrats on taking
that step into being a professional
entrepreneur:)
You only live once and to spend so much of your time on something you hate is insane! As cliche as \"you only live once\" is, people aren\’t tying an emotional response to it. To most people it\’s like hearing someone say \"Good Morning\". I can\’t express how good it feels to live your life.
Thanks Eric, great post.
Hey Karl,
Love the enthusiasm! You’re
right on with your words…
Keep livin’ my friend:)
Hey Eric,
Love your message about pursuing your dreams, living your passion, and going for it!!! “If money wasn’t an issue…” definitely the case!
In my opinion, one of the biggest challenges that people have is FEAR… and I love what Tim Ferriss described with “Fearsetting”… “Goalsetting”‘s oft-forgotten and very important sister-exercise.
This is my first time to your Blog… Thanks Eric!
TF
Timothy Francis´s last blog ..Not “Goalsetting”, but “FEARsetting”
Timothy,
Thanks for stoppin’ by my blog. Tim
Ferris definitely explains that well.
Most people don’t set goals and they
wonder why they aren’t getting anywhere:)
Keep the vision alive!

If you are not willing to step out of your comfort zone to excell in this industry you may as well be being carried along by the rest of the zombies in NYC. “Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable”.
Virgil Cook´s last blog ..Need Some Help With Your SEO Campaign?
haha… so true Virgil!
Life is all about growing, and part
of growth is stepping into the unknown:)
Amen Brother! Unfortunately, too many people are stuck in that trap because they don’t believe they have options nor the power to follow their dreams and their passion. Our “WHY” has to be bigger than our excuses!
Right on Laura… It is all about
our WHY! Just like you said…
We must have a HUGE why!
Great points, thank you for such a valuable post! You are definitely right that we need to pursue our passions. There is no point in spending so many hours of our lives at a j.o.b. that we hate! Life is meant to be enjoyed! That’s why I started a home business a number of years ago but I’ve found that even though I’m not making someone else rich I still don’t have the time freedom that I had hoped for. So now I’m on the path of entrepreneurship. Thanks for the encouragement to keep going!

I love what you just did in Central Sation. Roaming around is what I want to do.’ How to start’ , is what I am search now.
I am still trading time for cash, but will got out of it ASAP.
thank you for what you do.
Sam Lee
Hey Sam,
Thanks buddy… had a great time
that day hangin’ in NYC.
Nothing wrong with trading time
for cash… as long as you are working
on something that will one day allow you
to stop.
Believe it… and you will conceive it!
Hey Eric
Thanks for showing us Madison Square Garden! I have never been to New York and I seriously can’t wait to go! One day soon… I know it!
My passion is enlightened relationship dating advice for singles. Thanks to you I’ve created a hugely successful brand doing what I absolutely love
Love and success to you!

Hey Colette,
Thanks for the comment. MSG is a
great place… it’s got that NYC buzz:)
You’ve got a kick butt brand going
and you are helping so many people…
Love and success to you too!
Hi Eric
Great post, I’ve left the rat race and set up my own business working from home helping and inspiring others to do the same and I now love what I’m doing. I encourage everyone dump the job they hate and find their passion in life before it’s too late
Gary
I like that, dump your job and
find your passion… thanks for
sharing Gary!
Happy to hear you are out of
the face… keep following your passion!
Beautiful, Eric! Thank you! In some ways, your words “Are you doing what you love” breaks my heart, because I know that I am not. Believe that I am here to do something different, more meaningful and purposeful. The pain of this realization is probably the first step in stirring change. So thanks for your email message today, Eric, for the beautiful video, and your blog. God bless, my friend! I look forward to more encouraging and empowering words from you. Until soon..
Hi, Eric!
My passion, my really live reason, is Art.
When I draw, I lose all my time notion and I want more and more to make this…
Welll, this I really want to do… To draw, and to be payed for this…
See you!
Hey Paula,
Then create a brand around art. Find
out what arena of art really drives you,
and brand yourself there.
Make It Happen:)
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the inspirational video. I’ve been working in corporate world pretty much all my life. However, I’ve split my time between working a JOB and trying to develop a business of my own. I realize that it’s more of a challenge to split time as opposed to just diving out there and really focusing on what I love.
As you mentioned in your video about big branded companies folding, I could not agree with you more. I’ve been in my latest JOB for 5 1/2 years now and the department is closing. I believe that now it’s my calling to really pursue my passion in life and put looking for another JOB on the back burner while focusing on moving my online business forward.
I have always worked in the health care field on the business side and at the same time, I’ve always been into health and wellness because I really enjoy helping myself and others. I recently decided to challenge myself by stepping out of my comfort zone and get more involved with social networking. At first it was a challenge to me because I was so used to the brick and mortar ways of doing business. This whole social media concept coupled with technology is truly a blessing for anyone wanting to start a business. My blog is in it’s baby stages and I am taking one step at a time and of course learning as I go.
I appreciate you sharing the knowledge, and I say a big YES to being ready…as I look forward to doing what I really love!!!
Thanks again!!!:-)
Denise
Hey Denise,
Thank you very much for your
great comment, and for your
transparency!
Pursue that passion… and share
your gifts with the world. You have
knowledge in the area of health and
wellness that others don’t… that want
it.
So share it and build a business
around doing it. I support you 100%
along your journey!
Eric, Thanks for the great video. Yes, it is terrific to live in an age where we can follow our passions and live the beautiful life. I like the way you express it – singing the song that is living within you. We appreciate all the value you add through your posts. Thanks again, Joy
My pleasure Joy!
It makes me happy to know that
you are finding value in my content.
Sing that song Joy… Joy To The World:)
Hello Eric,

I appreaciateall the value you bring to us. I have to say you do what you preach.
Do not stop, continue to give us inspiration with your well thought out training video’s.
To your success,

Juan,
Lots more to come buddy. I always
like to do what I say… we are all human
beings so sometimes we slip on it, but for
the most part I like to practice what I preach.
Thanks Juan:)
