I bought a donut, and they gave me a receipt for the donut. When will I ever need to prove I bought a donut? Some skeptical friend: "Hey man! Don't you even act like I didn't buy this donut! I have the documentation right here... **** ... I forgot it... at home... in the filing cabinet... under D... for donut."

I've gotta say I don't hate my job. It's just not a career. My boss is cool. My drive is short. Hours are good, they work with my school schedule. I'm doing good for living at home. If I was trying to afford my own place though. I'd either be living in my car or w/o my car. We all know where I would be.

Best advice I ever got was this... There is nothing worse than a success you hate...choose what you enjoy doing, and excel at it. That's what sets the conditions for a man to be happy and content.

Here's the problem. People don't know how to make money doing what they love, because it most likely requires a skill they either don't have, or don't want.

I actually make supplemental income from my hobby, and as I've grown in the business world, I was able to grow this hobby as well with the skill I've gained. To the point where my supplemental income income exceeded what most people make from their main income source.

Honestly...making money is a mindset, and if you have this mindset, you can always figure it out. Doing what you love and making no money doing it just puts your previous stress in a different area of your life.

My advice would be to learn how to over come the stress rather than displace it. Work for someone... will the goal of eventually working for yourself.

This I love when I start a shift
