Some Great Advice Given To Me

About 6 months ago I was in a bad place in my life.  I had no job, and was getting into debt that I knew I shouldn't be getting into.  I was still trying to find my "dream job" of being a collegiate basketball coach, but not having any luck.  I then met with my Pastor from my church who gave me some great advice that I pass on to anyone who would want to here it.  The advice was this.  "You need to do the stupid job to get to the dream job."  This piece of advice was a wake up call for me because I always thought I would just go do the dream job now and everything would be okay.  I typically forget those other steps.

So that is what I did.  I went out and obtain a "stupid job" that turns out to be a job that I like to do so that I can pay my bills and keep learning new things so that I am ready for my dream job.  I will be honest, I thought I was ready for the dream job now, but I was way wrong and know that I have lots to learn in all areas. 

So I leave you with this.  If you are like me and dream big, remember that to get to that dream you need to do the stupid job first.
