I'm not an early bird. Can I still get a worm?

I say trust your natural rhythm. Don't force yourself to be a morning person if you're not. I know - we keep hearing about that early bird - but then all he got is a worm. I know plenty of highly creative and productive people who don't get started till noon.

Questions this week:

1. What jobs or business opportunities are there for me where I can make people feel good about themselves?

2. I know getting up early (say about 5a) is extremely important to being most productive throughout each day. My problem: I'm a night owl.

3. I'm a reading and writing instructor teaching online. Is there any way to turn this into a business.

4. I have been dealing with PTSD and the current line of work has gotten the best of me.

A recap of our discussion:

• Hug more

• Clarify how you can make people happy and find work that allows you to do that.

• Trust your natural rhythm for sleep - don't force yourself to be something that you're not.

• Be a specialist, not a generalist

• Choose growth when the possibility of anger or depression presents itself.
