First day of Class - What is your passion?

Tonight was the first day of my Intro to Business Class - with 55 students. WOW!  Well, eventually the class can only hold 45, but tonight there were 55 people listening to everything I said.  I realized as I do every time I teach a class that this is one of my passions. I love, love, love helping people learn and grow. Tonight I had the students write down three things that they love to do, and then I had them pass the list to another student.  And, then that student brainstormed on how the other student’s passions could possibly translate into a career, a business venture or a non-profit organization.  It was awesome - they came up with some really great ideas for each other. I am so grateful to be able to teach business, marketing and advertising, but what I would really love to do is to teach what I am learning on this journey.  I am thinking that my passions and my experiences and the lessons I have learned could translate into a new career for me - you never know!  Obviously, one of my passions is writing or I don't think I would have been able to write this blog day after day after day! No really! Oh and I think I'm kind of funny! LOL!  I know I am sharing my story via this blog, but I am going to expand my reach by including videos of my journey and posting them on YouTube.  Crazy – I know!  So, we will see where utilizing my passions leads me - my passions besides teaching/public speaking (I just love it when I am in front of the class teaching - when I see that spark of interest or that look of ah-ha it just makes my day!) and writing , include gardening, exercising (yes, I really do like it, especially golf!), eating (Obviously! Got to make it healthy eating though!), reading, being outdoors, and traveling.   So, stay tuned and look for those YouTube videos soon!
