Lately I have noticed an interesting thing happen. People are sharing very personal stuff (mission, dreams, ideas) online. And then they get support and encouragement to do it. They put their stuff out there for everyone to see and find people and accountability. (Maybe criticism too, but that happens when you want to change the world.)

I wonder if we naturally want to help people be and do better. But how often do we open up about this? What about you? Are you willing to share your dreams with the world?

Here’s my attempt:
I want to change the world. Be a voice for overlooked people to business. Make strong connections. Give away ideas. Love my family and friends.

Want to share? Find accountability?

Are you still looking for work? Were you part of a massive restructuring? Downsized? Discouraged?

I talk to people weekly that are looking for jobs and it’s challenging. They have applied everywhere and talked to everyone. It’s a hard reality. You might be that person and you know how much it sucks.

I don’t have all the answers. But I do think work is fundamentally changing in America. We might see many more independent contractors and freelancers. We might have our own brands.

Let me know what you think. Better yet, if it’s helpful pass it on.

It could be that I’m so in the thick of it that I just can’t see straight. But is anyone working just one job anymore? I am working on a handful of projects that I care about. One friend runs a company and teaches online. Another works for a non-profit and does real estate.

So I ask again, does anyone work a regular 9-5 job anymore? Please tell me if you do. What I want to ask next - is it really what you want to be doing?

I think the hope for a secure job with one company that takes care of you is dead and gone. Business changes too quickly.

I read Tom Peter’s book, Reimagine, a few years ago and thought he was a little overboard. Nope. I guess he was on to something. Seems like it is more about a Brand Called You.

Tell me about your work.
