Exciting Vision for My Future Work Life

I have this exciting life vision that I am dedicated to implement during the coming years. It is clear and strong in my mind, and makes me enthusiastic in my efforts.

I have worked in an office for my entire working life. Being an IT engineer and consultant I have spent my work life at different development departments with computers and heaps of documents around me. Long days to meet delivery dates, complicated malfunctions that need to be investigated etc...

I want to get away from my office life! I do not wish to be tied down to fixed hours at a certain office. I want more flexibility, more freedom in my work life. I also want to meet more people in my work days. I have formed my life vision that I call “Migrating Bird”. The migrating birds move from one place to another dependent on the weather conditions. I love to travel, I love freedom and I love to have variation so my intention is to create a way to support myself that fulfills those wants. The way I see my vision all I need is a laptop, global internet connection, a lightly packed bag and a stack of airline tickets :o)

The trick to this is of course Internet. Internet is accessible even in the most remote corners of the world (well almost anyway!) and I already have a laptop! One of the cornerstones in reaching my goal is to write top quality articles and publish them on the Internet. Writing articles is not tied to a specific office or a specific time of the day! I can e.g. sit on a beautiful cliff in Cyprus or in a mountain village in Thailand and write my articles. It will certainly inspire me more to be in such an environment! All it takes to publish the articles is to connect to internet and submit the article(s) to several article sites. Sounds simple, does it not? So far so good. Only problem is that noone will pay me for doing that, so I need to add something more! A blog site and references to my blog site from the articles. The blog site will promote a product that will give me income! I will of course also promote and sell the product directly to people I meet!

I will also add some translation work. With my 27 years of experience from the computer industry I can translate technical documents from english to my mother tongue, swedish.

I have spent the last weekend practicing for my Life Vision! I went to Cologne, Germany, with a friend who share this desire to have a free working life! And boy did we have fun! There was a big party in Cologne on Saturday evening, probably around 1 million people were out in the streets of Cologne in the night! And there were fantastic fire works and public concerts along the river Rhein! Also a super opportunity to meet new people! Everyone is relaxed and happy, and it is easy to establish contact! Conversation will inevitably land somewhere in the “what-do-you-do-for-a-living” area. That is the time to start talking business, hand out business card and promote blog site!

We have also been very ambitious and written at least one article each every day! So the vision works, it IS possible to work and have fun at the same time!

Now what is your vision for your working life, and when will you start to implement it?
