Are you Wild About Work?
I am always on the lookout for ways to inject more passion, more fun, into my day job, for me, and for all the people I come in contact with. Some people quite frankly hate their jobs, some people are apathetic, and a few lucky ones truly LOVE what they do every day!
Do you love what you do every day at work? Do you feel energized and engaged every day at your job?
If you're not 100% in love with your job, I encourage you to pick up a copy of Curt Rosengren's new book 101 Ways to Get Wild About Work. It's packed with (you guessed it) 101 ways to get wild about work. It's an easy read, as you can take each piece as your own daily to-do. Not only does this book have information, but it has (my favorite) action steps. Curt calls the ends of his chapter "putting it to work" and they are invaluable ways for you to love your job more.
For instance, chapter #1 is Define Tomorrow by Its Potential. In it, Curt talks about the importance of dreaming, something I also talk about in my book 10 Ways to Make It Great! Curt helps us put it into action with 3 great tips:
For only $15.95, that's about $.17 per way, and if only 1 way strikes your fancy and makes you happier at work, isn't that worth $15.95 to you?
I strongly encourage you pick up a copy of 101 Ways to Get Wild About Work for you and for those you work with.
If you're not familiar with Curt, check out his M.A.P. Maker blog, where he discusses Meaning, Abundance and Passion!

- Start a dream list. What have you dreamed of doing over the years? You don’t have to pursue any of them – just start the habit of letting your dreams into the light.
- Imagine following each of those dreams. Notice where that minimizing voice comes up. Remind yourself, “Maybe I could and I just don’t know it yet.”
- Remind yourself to dream. Write a quote and put it in your wallet or purse. It could be as simple as, “Dream!” Or it could be a question like, “What could tomorrow bring?”

Sounds like a great read, Phil. Here are two others I'd recommend along the same lines - "Making a Living Without a Job" by Barbara Winter and "Caught Between a Dream and a Job" by Delatorro McNeal.
Thanks for the great tips!
