Carnival Wrap-Up Jan 27, 2007
Here are the terrific posts from this week’s Carnival of Career Intensity:
Post One – Make More Money - It’s All in the Attitude
John Peter presents All about attitude posted at OhCash.com.
When it comes to money, or to anything, it’s all about the attitude. It’s about how hard you want to succeed. If you talk to any famous athlete, may it be any sport, they will tell you they practiced it since they were kids. Since they were just a few years old, they had this passion and desire of success.

Post Two – American Idol: A Celebration of Delusion
Charles H. Green presents American Idol: Empowering Incompetents posted at Trust Matters.
We meet really nice people—who are seriously disconnected. Warped. Out to lunch. They cannot integrate their Big Belief with the Fact of Reality.
One form of disconnect is the diamond in the rough, the undiscovered talent. Undiscovered, most of all, to oneself. This is the premise of the show: that somewhere a gem toils mightily, unappreciated—until (s)he gets a Break. It’s the old American Dream, the meritocracy. Social mobility may be way down in this country, but it lives on in American Idol!

Post Four – Make Your Job Your Hobby
Karl Staib presents I’ve Decided My Job is Now My Hobby posted at 10,000 Swimming Pools Inside Our Minds.
I’ve struggled with my job over the past couple of years and I know many of you probably struggle with your job as well. I came up with a plan to enjoy my job and tested it out for the past 30 days. The plan was simple – my job is now my hobby and my full time job is to enjoy my life.
In order to change my mindset and accept my job as my hobby, I was going to have to rewire some of my old thought patterns. I had to break down exactly what I thought my job was. Dictionary.com says it’s: a piece of work, esp. a specific task done as part of the routine of one’s occupation or for an agreed price.

Post Five – Quit Doubting Yourself
Katie presents Quit doubting yourself and tap into your assets already posted at Aridni.
Today I meet a young man who has $100,000 labor contracts to put siding on Hilton hotels. He hires staff, lines up insurance, establishes employee housing for out-of-town projects, and runs a successful LLC. He’s the cheapest, fastest, and most efficient sider around here.
Oh– this young man cannot read.
