Doing what you love for free

So I love planning. I am a logistics fanatic. As a result, I plan a lot of events for different people and organizations. This “hobby” takes up a lot of my time. And I usually do it for free or very minimal fees. So I end up living this hectic life, with my full time job that is pretty cool that I get paid to do and an undercover secret job that I love that I do not get paid to do.

This summer, for example, I have planned or am in the process of planning a dinner for 60 people in the King of Prussia, a small intimate wedding in New York, a kickstarter product launch in Atlanta, and a happy hour aimed at attracting young professionals to skiing. With the GMAT, applications, and my REAL job, I am short on time. But for some reason, I can’t stop and I have the bags under my eyes and dollars debited to Hot Yoga to prove it. 

Pictures from an engagement brunch I hosted last weekend. 



The question is do I have to live my dual career life forever? Or somehow can I find a way to spend my days brainstorming about how to connect people to other people and products that are unique to them.  This is the question of the hour.
