Is your job making you sick?

This past weekend, my youngest daughter Melissa traveled with me to visit our friends Steve and Jody a little ways outside Washington, DC. It was a wonderful time to be visiting with another couple pursuing the dream of becoming solopreneurs and taking charge of our lives. Steve and Jody have a plan in place to get their business of 90 Revolutions up and running. With this company, Steve will be pursuing his passion of working with athletes to "train without pain." I totally love Steve's passion and was very inspired by our visit.

As part of our time together, we went hiking in the Shenandoah National Park where we shot a testimonial video and began recording video for an upcoming workshop I am leading in October. This beautiful setting was our office for the day. It is a completely different feeling to be working where you want, when you want, and more importantly, doing what you are called to do, rather than being stuck in a cubicle in an office designed to look like a rat maze. Are you content in the environment you are in?

While I was up in the Shenandoah National Park, I received an email from a client whom I had not heard from lately. At our last couple of meetings, I told her point-blank that I thought her job was causing her significant health problems. She already knew this, but was having trouble leaving a job that she had worked at for over 10 years. However, the job was a poor fit for her, and it was visibly affecting her. In fact, she had been sick for the entire 4 months that I have known her.
In her email, she explained that since our last meeting where we had worked on her resume, she had been contacted by a local company because of her resume. The company is a great fit for her, and she said, "I was able to negotiate a great pay, benefits and less hours and stress." It is great to hear that she was able to leave a job that was having an impact on her physical health and move to a job that she looks forward to doing.
