About 33 years ago I let go of most of my possessions, threw what I could into a Dodge van, and moved to Los Angeles. I had decided that I would do whatever it takes to start a new life as a musician and composer in Los Angeles.
About 23 years ago, when my first son was two years old, I decided it was time to stop being an "under-earner" and I got my first job in the financial services industry. I had decided to do whatever it takes to shift into a new career.
About 20 years ago I got my first job as a commission-based loan officer for Security Pacific Bank. I decided to do whatever it takes to be a successful loan officer.
About 11 years ago I met Joe Stumpf. I was burnt out after the real estate difficulties in the '90s, and I was ready to try something new. I decided to do whatever it takes to build a referral-based business built on trust and honesty that would allow me to earn a great income and still have time for my music, my family and my life.
It is now today. I am here now. Once again, I am ready to do Whatever It Takes to find the passion in my life.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
