What do you tell people when they say, “what do you do?”

People remember the first thing you say.

Option a) tell them what you do to earn a living 

Option b) tell them what you’re passionate about

You do both of those things. Maybe your a and b are the same thing. Maybe they’re not. It’s your choice how you see yourself, and how you portray yourself.

If you want to be a writer, and you write, but you also work at an office in the day, you can answer the question with “I‘m an office worker” or “I’m a writer.”

Both are true.

But what is on your dream business card?

Writer?
Singer?
Producer?
Firewoman?
Chef?
Scuba diver?

Start doing that thing. Then, we people ask you what you do, you get to start living into that reality.

Write yourself a business card, and introduce yourself as that thing. Starting today.
