NaPodPoMo: Success In Your Spare Time

I’m really exhausted tonight, but I thought I would do the first podcast for NaPodPoMo. This is a challenge to podcasters, similar to NaBloPoMo, in which you commit to creating one blog post per day. So, I went ahead and did a show on Blog Talk Radio. I think BTR will be the way that I create podcasts for this effort.

Tonight’s topic is about my observation that many people become successful in their spare time rather than at their jobs. Aspiring actors, for example, will go out and audition on their days off. Musicians will work gigs on the weekends. Business people will volunteer time at the Chamber of Commerce and serve on various boards of directors in their spare time, or they make time. The point is that there seems to be a disconnect between what one does for a living and what one does to become successful. My social networking, blogging, podcasting, and video are all done in my spare time, by the way.

Do you think there is anything to this observation? Share your thoughts.
