When my best friend came to me with an idea last February, I listened. He was just out of college, and didn’t quite know what to do with his life. He was talented, creative, intelligent – any employer would have snapped him up quick.

But instead he decided to start One Week Job.

So he and I built the initial website, cobbled together a press release, and let the universe take over. Pretty wild, considering how far it’s come.

    I thought I had found my passion until recently when I realized I was not quite there, but close. This morning however after watching this video I suddenly “saw” what my passion was in detail. Not only that, but the fact that I have already been presented with an opportunity to make it happen, so now I have a clear list of action points, which I believe will allow me to achieve it without fail.

    So thank you very much for this inspiring story.
    Rob
