Living a Dream -Stories of Entrepreneurial Freedom #2
by Shann on Feb.16, 2009, under Career Transition, entrepreneurs
About a year ago I began writing a book about extraordinary entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who live on their own terms. These are people who likely have achieved extraordinary results… leading to the creation of personal freedom.
They are interesting, eccentric, bold, creative, unfiltered creatures of the universe who want to share their story with others to inspire them to follow their dreams.
Recently, I interviewed Jim Blaha and was taken by his courage, honesty and introspection.
After 25 years climbing the corporate ladder with Westinghouse including cyclical bouts with mental illness, Jim woke up one day and asked him self the question “Who am I and what do I want to do with the rest of my life.” With a wife to support and 3 boys in college at the time, he answered his question and resigned. Jim made a complete career change that led him to becoming an investment banker and business valuation expert with an entrepreneurial state of mind.
As the years passed buy Jim identified that wealth and finances were no longer as important to him as they once were. In his experience the best legacy is to be satisfied with your own FULL life. Jim recommends that you get to know yourself and share your talents and gifts with the world and suggests journaling as a way to begin the journey within.
“The unexamined life is not worth living.” - Socrates
Jim is currently finishing a book about his life story that will be published later this year.
Jim Blaha is another fine example of the incredibly talented individuals I have the honor of interviewing along the path of this fun and inspirational project.
