I was hanging out with one set of plumbers yesterday, and another set today. Before I go on, let me say that I love all of these plumbers. They are the best guys, and I feel so lucky to have had this position, and have had the chance to get to know them.
What struck me today was how happy the plumbers were with their jobs. They really seemed to love exactly what they were doing, what they were discussing. It made me reflect on how important it is to love what you are doing, because you spend so much time on your job. You damn well better be spending your time on something that you enjoy, or that is building towards your goals. It must be so hard to live another way.
Tonight we spoke with our coach. We are almost done with our coaching sessions...and I can't believe how quickly they have passed. The crux of her advice was to stay away from bad areas and only invest in a place where we would want to live.
After we are more established, I would love to work to invest in an area that is depressed and help revitalize it.
In the mean time, we will stay in the safer neighborhoods.
So for this weekend, we are going up to NH and will be checking out properties that fit our criteria. We had a great start next weekend, and I am looking forward to continuing that trend this weekend. Pursuing this, is bringing me that happiness that I saw the plumbers display as they argued about pumps and pressure valves. Everyone has something that gives them kicks.
