Our society has reached a point where people no longer sit idle and tolerate careers that bring little joy or sense of accomplishment to their lives. With more freedom than ever, we now choose how we earn a living and spend the majority of our short time here on earth. True happiness lies not at the bottom of a Mai-tai martini glass on a surf drenched beach, but instead doing real, meaningful work that CONNECTS us to our passions. A growing swell of new possibility and new thinking redefines traditional attitudes towards career, life and passion. We now connect our careers and passions and wash away the old and tired lines in the sand. Our passions and our careers have become one and the same. At the age of nineteen, I connected my passion for music and helping kids by starting a nonprofit that sells donated pianos to raise money for an after school program called MUSE. I’m now thirty-two, and over the last thirteen years I have had many experiences and learned numerous lessons along the way. I am writing this book because I want to share these experiences with you and hopefully help YOU create a career that aligns with YOUR passions. Organized like the keyboard of a piano, this book contains eighty-eight keys, or lessons, that share various experiences I have had of fixing, moving, and selling pianos. I have also broken the book into octaves, with each octave containing twelve keys. Each octave represents a different phase in the process of connecting your passions to a fulfilling and rewarding career. I hope to guide, encourage, and inspire you on your journey to create a Passion Centered Career (PCC).
