We all look for opportunities to get happier and wealthier with less effort. It would be even better to have a “job” that could sustain the desired lifestyle and liberate us from worries, financial instability, and having to wake up early and commute to the job you wish you didn’t have.   As I grew in my entrepreneurial spirit and my obsession to read every single book on financial freedom and the movement of liberation from 9 to 5 rat race, I started noticing the opportunities around me that would otherwise be ignored for fear of failure or embarrassment. Most importantly, I have understood the trick of how some people…

Is your job what you honestly looked for, feel excited about, can’t wait to get back to? Have you ever asked yourself these questions? If the answers are yes, yes, yes, then you are most likely an entrepreneur. If the answers are no, no, no, then you are most probably like me always pondering the possibility of a new job search while being already employed or just hired. I wouldn’t describe it as impatience, lack of commitment, not knowing your stuff, or lack of focus. When you look for a job the first time, you just need the job, just something straight out of the college because you need to…

I’m a teacher, and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that. It started long ago. I remember having dinner at one of my father’s friend’s house. It was right after my admission to a quite high-ranking university in my country. I was radiating pride and happiness. The conversation came to the point that my father’s friend asked what career I was going to have after I graduate. “Teacher,” my father replied. I never forgot what happened after that. Suddenly, the whole world, the grandeur of my existence and my recent accomplishments have been annihilated by the wicked smirk.   “That’s all?! Just a teacher? Well,” he responded. I don’t clearly…

I can’t swim. I never learned, never felt the need for it. When my husband bought a family gym membership, we started our weekly trips to the pool, which has become my getaway from the everyday grind. During one of those frequent trips to the pool, I had a revelation. It literally happened in the pool. I was standing next to the 4-feet mark contemplating my plan B and C and D in case I happen to be drowning. I can scream, start grabbing floating Barbies, and stereo foam dumbbells for seniors, or even any hands and legs in my proximity. That could have been probably unnecessary since lifeguards watched…
