Also - and this is not be overlooked - it allows me a buffet of experiences in business to help me write better, interact with clients better, and conduct business better. It allows me to do that and to not compromise this in a mad-dash effort to market and monetize it. It provides me a reliable foundation that allows me to do what you see me doing here. It’s not my dream job it doesn’t give me the thrill of expressing my true passion and creativity, and no one is asking me to give talks or be on podcasts.īut this regular job - the kind that many millennials who overuse the word “passion” would scoff at - does something for me that I would never give up.
The only things I write at that job are emails, reports on projects, or powerpoint presentations of business conditions to current customers. The work I do at my day job is not at all related to what you see me do online, and what I do for my clients. The other two are basically ways to create a funnel for that paying work, and to just write out the myriad thoughts that pop into my head - to flesh them out, lest they rattle around and distract me from actually living my life. That last piece is the only thing that pays. I write here on Medium, I have a weekly newsletter ( sign up for it, won’t you?), and I also write copy for clients. I also have this side gig - which I’ve been working on for the past year or so, which is writing online. In fact, it’s a very old business, where being considered a startup is a severe disadvantage. I’ve been working at a regular 9 to 5 type job for the past 6 years and change.
