Instead of changing jobs every six months, why don't you learn a way to start loving the job you currently have. 

There is a common philosophy out there that we have to follow our passion and find the perfect job based on what we love to do in life. 

Well finding a job based on your passion is often not even possible. But there is a way to enjoy the job you have a lot more, and in the book, "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport, you will learn: 

• Why following your passion is a bad idea
• Why more people today are dissatisfied with their jobs than in the past
• What you should do instead of looking for the "perfect" job
• What skills you should develop in today's competitive job market. 

Apply it to Your English Fluency 

In this episode, I will show you how you can take the lessons from the book and not only enjoy your job more, but see faster progress in your English speaking skills too. 

Listen up!

How Do You Become Rich?

Someone studied successful people to find the exact answer to this, and the lessons he shared have been followed for the last hundred years, and the book is still being studied today. At the beginning of the 20th century (1900) a guy named Napolean Hill was challenged to do something. He was challenged to interview very successful people over the next 20 years to find out what lead to their success. And through this research, he created the book "Think and Grow Rich" which is a self-help classic.

Do you Want to Become Rich in English?

What he found was that none of these successful people possess skills that were unattainable by most people. What it comes to when gaining big success can be broken down into a process. And I am going to talk about this process, and how you can apply it to your English learning in this episode of the Feel Good English podcast.
