From the creator of the number one podcast Don't Keep Your Day Job, an inspiring book about turning your passion into profit

The pursuit of happiness is all about finding our purpose. We don't want to just go to work and build someone else’s dream, we want to do our life's work. But how do we find out what we’re supposed to contribute? What are those key ingredients that push those who succeed to launch their ideas high into the sky, while the rest of us remain stuck on the ground?

Don’t Keep Your Day Job will get you fired up, ready to rip it open, and use your zone of genius to add a little more sparkle to this world. Cathy Heller, host of the popular podcast Don’t Keep Your Day Job, shares wisdom, anecdotes, and practical suggestions from successful creative entrepreneurs and experts, including actress Jenna Fischer on rejection, Gretchen Rubin on the keys to happiness, Jen Sincero on having your best badass life, and so much more. You’ll learn essential steps like how to build your side hustle, how to find your tribe, how to reach for what you truly deserve, and how to ultimately turn your passion into profit and build a life you love.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I'm a big fan of Cathy, her podcast early on was fantastic. Unfortunately, this book is way too airy fairy up to where I am at the moment and doesn't focus on specifics. It's more about intentionality and mindset. Being a creative that makes money is not just about these things. There's a lot of quoting other creatives and not a lot of practical tips. I'm sure The next thing she creates will be fantastic in these areas though.

Great idea but too Non-descriptive and generic
