I decided to get vocal about my passion for entrepreneurship and passion, in March I was accepted as a speaker in front of almost 600 people to share genetically unemployable. What a blast! The audience was totally in to the presentation, cheering and hooting me on.
It hasn’t always been the easiest path, being genetically unemployable, but with creativity and diligence I have created a life where I usually can’t tell the difference between working and playing. Is your life that way?
It can be, not overnight of course and not without a lot of work. First you have to decide and document what you want that life to look like, maybe even pull together a vision board. Here is an example: (my initial goal)

What is most important to you? For me, it’s freedom … freedom to create, move about the country and learn as much as life has to teach.
I have coined the term genetically unemployable™ to give this lifestyle a name; and to be able to help others architect their own lifestyle through my experiences and guidance. I was told it wasn’t possible, that I was dreaming … luckily I didn’t listen. And now I want everyone that feels the pull to have a chance at architecting the life of their dreams.
In times of difficulty evolution begins, people begin to adapt and change their lives and even the way they think in order to survive. Opportunity didn’t stop knocking, but have you stopped listening?
If your unemployed right now take a look around and see what opportunity is waiting for you to apply your skills working for yourself or how you can begin spending your life acheiving your dreams … do you remember what they even were?
The blog is back online, since I blew off posting I didn’t even realize that the blog had gone down until a couple weeks ago. Since my last blog post in June of 2009, after leaving a huge project in Phoenix, I have spent the last 9 months completely ingrossed in restoring my old sailboat.
I lost all my comments from my previous blog, which is a huge bummer … people really relate to this concept and I can’t wait to speak about it more at the Phoenix Ignite March 30th, 2010.
It’s always exciting when you first find out you landed the ‘big gig’ … it doesn’t take long before the edge that you had when you were brought on board for begins to dimenish.
What happens? I think it’s comfort zone … the money starts coming in like a paycheck and to ‘hunt’ for the next gig stops. You no longer HAVE to keep your skills at the top of your game in order to entice the next client. And before you know it – your toast!
I was looking through the USA Today newspaper last week and saw an article with your typical scarcity title, something about 40% of Americans are scared of loosing their jobs. But under the bold title was a subtitle that talked about how many that have lost their jobs are finding a very successful opportunity in consulting.
Regardless of whether you have decided to designate yourself with my term of ‘genetically unemployable’ or not, if your here then you at the very least have an interest or intrigue with entrepreneurship. And that is really what this whole blog is about … sharing experiences of being a successful business person.
Living nervously excited about my future pretty much sums up my life, how about yours? I have noticed over the past few years that most people never question there own ‘comfort’ and if they feel alive or they just accept the comfort zone. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being comfortable … but there is something wrong with feeling dead.
I was asked today if I was retired, even though he stated I looked way too young to be of ‘retirement’ age. And that the life I show in pictures and actions on my Facebook sounds like I am indeed living a retired lifestyle.
What a compliment!
I am not retired, and have no intention of retiring because I love my life and the career I have created to allow me to live a genetically unemployable lifestyle. My gig is Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing, but that isn’t for everyone … I urge you to start digging around the Internet and your local area (if that is where you want to live) and look for ways to make money outside of your cubicle or office walls.
