Pursuit of Happiness: Work & Play
Barbara Winter is famous for her book Making a Living Without a Job
But I’ve had a very special opportunity to listen to Barbara on teleseminars and talk to her and exchange e-mail notes. She is genuine. She is warm and friendly. There’s no hype to her.
And she’s passionate about helping people find ways to work creatively or set up a few part-time businesses, or just find a way to make money doing something that is natural and comfortable for them. In a recent conversation she said she remembers a small business consultant giving a most excellent answer to the “What do you do?” question. The woman said, “You know how some people get all excited when they see a puppy? That’s how I feel about new businesses.”
Barbara said it perfectly describes how she feels. She’s never used that exact answer – out of respect for its author – but it explains so much about her.
There is a way to get to know her sincerity and curiosity and passion. She publishes a newsletter – the paper and ink kind. It contains vignettes, book reviews, wonderful pieces of conversations she has with creative thinkers, and powerful ideas for sparking your own imagination to find better ways to earn money.
The newsletter is called Winning Ways and can be ordered online. Subscribe and enjoy getting to know the entrepreneurs’ muse, Barbara Winter.
