"If we can't have fun at it, we don't do it" (Richard Branson, billionaire and fun loving guy)
Just for the fun of it Richard amassed a huge fortune. Richard Branson is my favorite example of a seducer who succeeds and has a blast doing it. He will not tackle any project, start any business or invest in anything just because there is a lot of money to be made. He must first be convinced that doing it would be fun.
"I refuse to work for a living but I'll play longer and harder than anyone at something I love"
Socrates said...'life is best lived as play' and getting paid to play must be the sweetest concept man ever created. Its just a damn shame we usually get it backwards. We choose jobs and a business based on its wealth potential. Then end up dissatisfied and bored. I wish that when I was starting out, someone had taken me aside and told me...
"Your job is to figure out what you love to do and are good at and then figure out a way to make a living at it"
That would have changed the course of my life at a very young age. However, since we can only change and take action in this moment, I'm committed to do what I love. I hope you do the same? And lest you think I've gone all serious on you, I'll leave you with this...

I am doing just what you are talking about! And it feels so good to be able to show my children that making a living doing what you love is possible!
