If you’re not good at numbers, don’t be an investment banker.

If you can find meaning and purpose in your work, and this has to be a conscious choice, then you have the opportunity for satisfaction. Whats the difference? ..being in control of the levers in your head.

That's how life is suppose to be. I am achieving it. I can see it, smell it and taste it. Doing what you love gives you excitement and enthusiasm towards the day. That’s how life is suppose to be.

I absolutely believe in Lorenzo's philosophy in doing what you love...so much so that I recently quit my job at an interactive marketing company and started my own social media marketing company. I have a dream of becoming an entrepreneur and I'm willing to put the work in to see it through. With that said, if you need any advice on how to use social media marketing for your small to mid-sized business, don't hesitate to check out my site :) http://www.squidoo.com/Catalyst-Marketers Best, Ryan Great post!
