Do-Gooder's Dilemma: Choose Pay or Passion

It’s no secret -- I am passionate about doing good and helping others to do good. Over the years, I've met Do-Gooders of all walks of life whose passion for doing good is so great it could literally be felt just being in their presence. Sadly, far too many Do-Gooders feel forced to choose pay over their passion.

For example, take this excerpt from a Do-Gooder's blog post:

“One year was not enough at KU (University of Kansas). I left unfinished, but my passion was not financially sustaining. I started my job search with the intent to find a balance between being happy in my job and the work I was doing and being financially secure. It was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Choosing pay over passion, I still question if I made the right choice.”

As I read the post, I reflected on the countless number people I’ve met over the last 20 years whose hearts were drawn to human service, advocacy, youth service, animal rescue, teaching and the list goes on, yet they work in a corporate position or some other role that “pays the bills”. That is why I am on a crusade to enlighten and empower as many Do-Gooders as I can with wealth building principles and strategies that can allow them to do their heart’s work without worrying about their bills.
I am hosting a series of free wealth building workshops. The next one will be Monday, August 24th at 6pm in Baltimore. For details on this and future events, go to this link (thewordwomanllc.eventbrite.com) and join me in a fun and informative session. Bring a friend!  

Warmly,

Michelle
