Lets see how this works

Fire Your Boss or Not Really?

I am reading* a book called "FIRE YOUR BOSS"  radical career plan to 1. take control of your work life, 2. boost your income, 3. have a job offer always in hand, 4. find happiness outside of the office. And your boss will thank you TOO! by Stephen M Pollan and Mark Levine, http://www.stephenpollan.com/books.html

As i read along the lines, contrary to the poignant title, the author wants you to work for living but have control over what your doing , with quick served power thoughts he explains these term and has awakened my senses and forces me to doing the assessment of my now and future:

  •  " work for the money, the love will follow"
  • "kill your career...and get a job" he says "this does not mean quitting your career....but attitude adjustment" wow am impressed by the way this book changes my whole outlook career vs work
  • "no one hires a stranger"
  • "its the money that count"
  • " travelling for pleasure not business"
  • "its your boss not the company that counts"
  • "meeting people in the right places"
  • " i work for money" <this is my favorite as i make up the few percent that goes with answer this first >

affirmations: The butterfly effect


Affirmations to me are those messages that come to you when least expected. As i go through daily living i find out that positive affirmations are the greatest weapon agains negativity. I will be reading Pastor Paula White new book she mentions in her quote. Butterfly effect
 
‎"Everyone will face tragedy and trials at one point or another. Perseverance separates winners from losers. He that perseveres makes every difficulty advancement and every contest a victory. Those who keep moving forward in the face of defeat will find victory. What we obtain too easy, we value too lightly. The cost of something gives it value." THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT via Paula White Minisitries
 
It’s called “The Butterfly Effect: 10 Words That Transformed My Life”—based on the concept that when a butterfly flaps its wings in one location, it can completely transform the environment of another. ~Paula White
