EL 003 – Why you need to love your job

In the show today, I go through the five top reasons you need to love your job. The five reasons are: 1. At least a half of your waking hours spent at work, so it would be good to actually enjoy that time. 2. It will be very difficult for you to invest in your career if you don’t love your work. 3.
