Welcome to episode 13 of the Get Work Savvy podcast.

For those of you who have returned, awesome, I am so happy that you could join us once again I’m buzzing to say that the podcast crossed the 1000 listens milestone!

So, I just want to say thank you for tuning in, this is my passion project and I hope that you are learning as much as I am! 

This week is like any other, we are going to find out about what it is Rich does, how he found himself being paid to travel around the world and what tips and tricks he has that you can use no matter the profession you are interested in. 

Rich went from being on the unemployed to working on some amazing projects before eventually finding his own path. 

He explains how he had no real idea about what it is he wanted to do, now I'll let Rich tell his story as lets be honest he will do a much better job than me. But what I will say is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you want to do, or if your goals change, the important thing is to begin your journey. 

If you are struggling with what to start with then follow rich’s advice, his project started as a hobby. Begin by finding something you enjoy spending time doing and make it your obsession.

Then as Rich and you grow in confidence, began sharing your talents with the world. Then when the right opportunity comes along, and it will, then you will be ready to take it with both hands!
