Work You Love ... The Eight Element of Great Work
Are you searching for work you love? Do you know what turns ordinary jobs and businesses into the extraordinary work you love to do?
It is easy to get excited about a new job or settle for a better way to earn a living -- and lose sight of whether the career you are contemplating is truly the work you love.
But all the things that happen when you love someone apply when you love your work.

- You gladly spend your free time coming up with great ideas to make things better

Falling In Love with What You Do

Falling in love is all about finding out what you love to do ... and then building a job or business around it. But it takes work to discover the places you love to work in, the activities you love to do and the people you love to work with. You also need to discover the things you love to be around and the type of work experiences you would be thrilled to have. Combine that with the ideas you love to think about and the problems you love to solve ...
... and you have a recipe for work you will love.
