It never fails. At least once a year, someone sitting around the after-dinner table throws out the old “what would you do if you won the lottery?” question. Sigh. I hate that question! I hate it because I can’t help but ponder my life, where it’s going and what I’ve got to show for it so far… and it’s not that dreaming kind of ponder, it’s that ridiculous “oh ya right!” kind of pondering.
This time was different.
This time the question came around to “If money was not an issue what kind of work would you choose?” I didn’t even have to think about it. You will think I’m being cheesy but this is the absolute truth: I would do exactly what I am doing right now. 90% of my time is spent on one client, The South Willamette Wineries Association. I love wine marketing and PR! It’s a romantic, sexy brand that is easy to sell, it’s a complicated and interesting business (I have so much to learn) and the people in our valley who own these beautiful properties are down-to-earth, passionate, friendly folks who are truly a pleasure to be around.The other 10% of my time is spent coaching and helping small businesses here in Eugene – mostly with social media but also with good old fashioned guerrilla marketing. Love it.
So for once, “that” lottery question did not leave me feeling forlorn and defeated.
What would you do for work if money was not an issue??
