This is a wonderful diagram from Bud Caddel who writes WhatConsumesMe.com. I’ts a concept I believe in and one that I wished I had really understood a long time ago. Finding something that you really love to do is for some people is itself a lifetimes work. I think sometimes it takes a lot of courage to do what you love because often people don’t have the same vision as you. Jump and the net will catch you is the term I often think of. In many ways I am in that place right now as I’ve found my offices will be shut down in a couple of months and if I want to stay in San Francisco i will have to do something new, and some of my ideas so far, i love, but also scare me :)

I know now is a time of transition for many people and I hope everyone has the possibility to at least contemplate work that they will love.

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open – Alexander Graham Bell

    We could easily say this is the age of disruption. I was just at Marketing Profs B2B Forum in Boston with Jason Bear and we both talked about our conversation with you at SxSW. The diagram reminds me of the three circles from a conversation Alan Webber had with Jim Collins at Fast Company Real Time in Phoenix dating back to September 2001, before Collins published “Good to Great”. I do believe in going from good to great when you follow your passion.
