I would offer another option in addition to Anthony’s “colliding” idea.

This is a simple thought I share with all of my business clients (people who are well above the poverty line).
1. Do what you love first! This will help you focus on things that make you happy.
2. Do what you are good at second! This might be a job that pays the bills and you might not love it, but you are good at it so it serves an important purpose other than happiness.
3. Delegate everything else to family, friends, or contractors (this requires money in many cases hence the nature of needing to be well above the poverty line in many cases.)
4. Seek balance in life

For counselors who are unwilling to set up recruiting events, shows, or at least pass out business card to clients and other contacts I would ask the above. Do you love it…NO! Are you good at it…NO! Then join BNI (Business Networking International) and let your referral partners do that work for you. I have 25 other business owners steadily referring clients to me and using my services weekly. My clients are usually able and willing to pay for couples/marital coaching, business/sales coaching, and then they refer various other folks to me for clinical work.

This pertains to working moms who find it difficult to be a professional at work as well as a home maker, child care specialist, chef, and so forth. If you make $20 or more/hour for example and feel like you are supposed to rush home, cook, clean, and do everything the 1950s home maker used to do then you might consider hiring an $8/hr assistant. Your hour is worth $20 or more. You have a net savings of $12/hour by hiring someone to help you and guess what…your stress goes down and loving relationships can improve.
