There is a book titled Love Your 84000 Hours at Work by Andrew Harrison. In this book Andrew endeavors to seek out people with purpose and fulfillment. He presents questions such as;
What do you do?
How did you get there?
Are you happy where you are?
This book inspired me to seek out people along their journey who have found their own life purpose.
Nancy Beach was kind enough to sit down with me and share her story. She is a Business Owner and a Marketer. Her primary purpose is helping people help themselves.
In her own words she is an Advocate for seniors and people with disabilities who suffer from emotional or physical distress. She offers assisted living services to her clients that allow them to remain in their current residence with their loved ones. Tragic experience with loved ones, whom she cared for until their passing, led her to reach out and help other families cope.
“Are you happy with where you are? Why?”
She responds with “I am happier than I’ve ever been!”
“Because, what I do makes a difference in the lives of my clients. Sometimes, what I do, helps to prolong their life.”
“What would you do differently?” I asked.
“I would stop getting in my own way. I always question my decisions.
She explains, the before this became a business, she volunteered her services and was reluctant to accept compensation in the beginning. Nancy has always put people first and that is what led her to where she is today.
“Don’t question what feels right, just take a chance, it just may reward you 10 fold. Accept that you are worth more than you’ll ever know!”
