The following is an excerpt from the book Get Paid For Who You Are.

If you’re like most people, you grew up thinking you’d have to work 40 to 50 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, before you could take time off and play. In addition, you might have learned that work is something you must put up with to earn money and that loving what you do is nice but not a priority.

I hope you’ll start to consider a new possibility — that maybe it’s okay to work a lot less and have a lot more play in your life. In this day and age, you can actually get paid for doing something you really love. Perhaps you’re already seeing that a lifestyle of freedom is possible for you and beginning to feel a growing desire to create it.
