The Niche Movement Book Review

By Kevin O’Connell

Know yourself and embrace it
- People who use their strengths every day are 6 times more likely to be engaged on the job
- What are your strengths?
- What are your weaknesses?
  - What do people around you say that you are really good at?
- What is the least favorite part of the role that you are currently in?
- What is your most favorite part?
  - Is there a job that involves more of THAT part?
- What is missing?
- Is it in line with your life goals?
  - Want to Travel?
  - Spend More Time With Family

Give yourself permission to experience the “wrong fit”.

What are 3 things that you would do for Free

Surround yourself with success

If you can’t find a job you are passionate about, create it yourself.

Gary Vaynerchuk: between the ages of 16-22. Find someone that you most want to be like and work for them for free (suggested 2 summers). I believe that this will work no matter what age you are!

Want to stand out in a pile of resumes that look just like yours?

Do something
Build something
Make something
- You can’t just walk in with a resume and assume that it’s the company’s job to pick you up

Mike Rayburn. Check him out at http://www.mikerayburn.com

International Keynote Speaker inspiring audiences using music and comedy.

Challenging audiences to turn problems into opportunities and dares us all to ask “What If?”

His message: Make a choice to become a Virtuoso. What is a Virtuoso? In music it means to become the very best. Not just at work but in life, at home, with your family. Resolve to be the VERY BEST!

Most of us are working because…it works. Its easy. We are coasting. The problem is that you only coast downhill!

Most people prefer to be self-taught. The problem is that the Teacher is Not That Good.

You need to find something that you are Passionate about AND good at! Then make the choice to be the absolute best at it.

Anything that you want to do that is worth doing or being good at will take time. So… Just Start.. “You cant steer a parked car.”

The universe seems to like it when we align our passion, what we are good at and effort!

How to transition to a job you love.

Get Stable as far as income
Explore to find out what you love
Work in your free time to start getting into that field
Start making an income in that field so that the “jump” is not that big of a jump.

People who seem to have a problem with work etihic, probably just don’t like their jobs! When you love what you do, then it no longer feels like work.

Luck is where the line of preparation meets the line of opportunity.

Kevin had spent years building his career to get to the Director level. He ran a team of people and was living what some would consider "the dream". But for Kevin, 80 hour weeks, a ton of travel combine with missing spending time with his family and dogs, Kevin decided it was time for a change.

With whatever free time he could find, Kevin wrote out on paper what his ideal life looked like, and then HE BUILT IT. He created ELMNTL Fitness, where he guides his members through fitness training routines using elements found in nature and focuse on making excercising...dare I say....FUN! After years of hard work, dedication and struggle, Kevin finally got his business to the point where he could leave his full time job.

Kevin is living his best life. Are you?

21. DJ Monopoli

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Wed, 27 May 2015 04:03:59 +0000

Talk about hustle! If you think that being a DJ is easy, then listen to this interview. I learned quickly that with barriers to entry in this field being lower than ever, its hard to make it in this business.

17. Personal Fitness Empire creator Justin Woltering

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 22:00:00 +0000

I don't know why I have heard so many people talk about pursuing a career in personal fitness training like it is such an easy thing to do. Developing a loyal and quality client base is very hard and according to Justin, the average lenth of a personal trainer lasts less than 1 year because of how hard it can be to be successful.

This interview is packed with inspiration, dedication, discipline and humility. A true and honest Rags to Riches story with an inside look at the real story behind how long it took to get to the top including mistakes, trials and struggles that life threw his way.

15 Kiley the Flight Attendant

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 04:20:20 +0000

I know what you are thinking, being a flight attendant must be the coolest job ever. You get to travel all over, meet great people and explore the world, right?

Not Exactly!

Being a flight attendant, especially in the beginning, is a lifestyle!

In most cases, starting pay is pretty low, you basically live out of a suitcase and you are away from home A LOT! Kiley mentioned that she hadn't been home for the holidays in about 3 years.

If you want to explore, Kiley recommends using Google to search "flight attendant interview questions". These will definitely help if you decide to go through the interview process.

There are a flight attendant schools that you can attend, althought it might be more helpful to apply directly to an airline as most will want to train you their own way based on that specific company's policies and procedures.

14 Yoga and Meditation with Work From Om

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Fri, 20 Mar 2015 04:00:00 +0000

One day at work, I happenned to notice that there was an article on our pantry refrigerator that mentioned something about Yoga and Meditation. After a closer look, I was intrigued to say the least. The article feartured Sarah and Ashley, the co founders of a company called "Work From Om"; love that play on words. They offer yoga and meditation to both individual and corporate clients in the New York City Area.

That day happenned to be a particularly stressful day, so the placement of that article was almost serendipitous. I needed a way to manage the level of stress I was dealing with in a healthy way. I couldn't wait to hear more, so I reached out to Sarah and she was very generous with the time and content she brought to the show.

Even Sarah herself recounts how after incorporating meditation into her daily routine she was much more focused throughout the day and found that she was more focused and made better decisions.

Sarah and Ashley teach mindfulness techniques to help align your body, sprit and soul and explan how these three major parts of the human being are all connected.

Notes from the show:

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:00:00 +0000

A Few Good Men, Liar Liar, Devils Advocate and even Legally Blonde....what do they have in common? They romanticize the role of an attorney. But what is it really like?

Jon breaks it down for us and explains that there are different types of attorneys in the world, both in the public and private sector. Jon works for the public sector working for the state as an Assistant District Attorney. To be honest, I didn't know exactly what the job looked like until this inteview set me straight.

12. James The Earth Builder

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 05:00:00 +0000

Ever wish you had a job that makes a difference in the world. Something noble and interesting that lets you travel and explore the globe, all while helping people build homes for their families and communities in much less fortunate places in the world than the US? That sounds all too great...doesn't it?

Well guess what....that's right, James does exactly that!

James and his co-founder started United Earth Builders, a company the specialized in building homes and structures using cutting edge technology, eco-friendly materials all while being environmentally conscious. He has travelled all over the world building these structures and even teaching others simply how to build when they have never build anything before. In fact, he just got back to the states after doing just that, in Africa.

That's Right....AFRICA!!

James had a "safe job" behind a desk that gave him a steady paycheck, but that wasn't enough. He clearly has a calling, and he has stopped at nothing to follow it including picking up and moving to California and then eventually mustering up the "intestinal fortitude" (thanks for that one James) to co-create his own company.

He now lives a minimalist lifestlye, but still is ablel to do the things that he loves like travel and even take snowboarding trips.

11. Ian The Inspiring Teacher

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 05:00:00 +0000

Being a teacher is easy, right? You get summers off, great benefits, snow days, a pension, you even get out early...so what's not to like, right?!?!

If these are the only reasons that you think being a teahcer would be the perfect career, then you are in the right place. It is a career just like any other and it comes with its own sets of challenges including the following:

You need to be on top of your game at all times. Don't you remember when you were still in grade school? You always knew when your teachers were a bit off their game and we all know the kids who would exploit it. On top of that, not all children are as excited thas you might be about the subject you are teaching. Trying to inspire them to want to learn is a challenge.

Want to plan a mid year vacation? You better rethink that one. Most public school teachers don't have the luxury of being able to take prolonged vacation time during the year. Week Long Skiing trips in mid January, probably not.

Ian Teaches 5 classes with only 80 minutes in between to prep, grade, stretch and try to eat lunch. On top of that, he takes on extra curricular activites which makes for longer days.

Maybe that doesn't sound as great as I thought it would be. So why does he do it? HE LOVES IT!! Talk about "Passion For Work" (great time to plug the show name). Ian finds satisfaction in helping his students learn, which is not always easy. Especially when after getting to know a class of children for 9-10 months and watching them grow, you then have to start all over. But for him it is worth it. This is Ian's outlet to express his creativity, which makes it a great fit on top of loving a lot of the subject matter.

Must have qualities include:

• Creativity

• Patience

• Love of most of the material as well as the students that you teach

• Finding value and fullfilment from helping others grow

What do to if you want to explore becoming a teacher:

• Substitute teach to get some experience

◦ You only need 60 college credits to substitue teach

• Ask a friend who is a teacher

• Explore Alternate Route program in your state for those who may have a degree and already be in a field other than teaching

• If Compensation is important to you, public school teachers salaries (at least in NJ) are public knowledge and you will be able to gain access to that information.

Ian closed with a great quote:

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the igniting of a fire." ~ William Buttler Yeats

10. Becca The Hair Stylist

Steven@passionforworkblog.com (Steven Paul) — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 05:00:00 +0000

Just when you think you know someone, then you hear their story. One thing is for sure, everyone has one, and Becca's is particularly inspring. Becca worked a job because "that's what you do". She went to school and got a job that would help her advance her career, which she didn't even like. Coming in late, barely being able to be engaged at work, some would probably consider her lazy....but ask her employer now, she is always early and excited to go to work.

What is she doing now? Becca is an incredible hair stylist! That's right!! She got a degree in Human Resources Management and then decided she was going to start all over! Talk about looking fear in the face, Becca overcame the worry of what her family and friends would say. As it turns out.... they all suported her and some even knew that this was what she was meant for.

Becca's story should be a lesson to us all to pursue your passion, and its NEVER too late!
