Using our Leadership to make work meaningful againsteemCreated with Sketch.

You think you'll be happy when you make $X/month?

You probably won't.

But pursue that goal anyway.

Having more money rarely hurts you.
Having money doesn't make me happier...

But I'm also in a strange situation because I'm forced to work a civil service job regardless of how much money I make.

If more money meant being able to quit, yeah, that would make me happier
Being able to quit my job would make me happier

Not because I could spend all day in bed

Or jacking off

Or travelling the world

It would make me happier because I could spend more time working on projects that excite me
You need meaningful work to be happy

Question is...what is "meaningful"?

I don't think it needs to be anything charitable - Lots of projects are meaningful while being entirely for personal gain.
This personal brand is meaningful to me.

My dropshipping stores...not so much.

My niche sites...even less so (no contact with customers)

But a personal brand is incredibly meaningful because you get to connect with others & help them on a daily basis
I'm sure some virtue-signallers will say the work they do for a charity is meaningful and that running an online biz Twitter is definitely not

But fuck em

I decide what's meaningful to me

You decide what's meaningful to you
