Really what is it? Lately I’ve been getting confused every time someone asks me that question. Am I am Web Developer, a Team Leader, a Web Designer, an Internet Marketer, an SEO (no not a “Social Media Guru”), a worker bee by day and an Entrepreneur by night? Heck I am all of these things, more than 1 on a given day.
What is a Job Title? Do you give it to yourself or is it given to you by the company you work for? Is the job title you gave yourself more important than the job title your company has given you? Does it make you feel important? Does your Job Title allow you to be creative and explore new ideas or does it slow you down and confine you in your box? Does it make you feel safe? Does it make you stay away from doing jobs “you aren’t supposed to do?” No that’s not my job I am a __________. Have you started working harder with your new job title or did it make you lazy? How long are you keeping this one before you move on to the next?
That’s something I want you to think about ….

Hey Jon, good point. It did give me something to gnaw on in fact.
I challenge you to come up with a creative work title for me as it’s something I’m finding quite hard to put in 3 words max….
So what do I do?
I enjoy the art of multi-tasking.
I am licensed to act as a tourist guide which is something I love and intend to keep doing.
I am back to being a student, but this time I’m studying something related to my future business which gives me a greater satisfaction when I put theory to practice.
I am a freelance artist, specialising in voiceovers, partake in visual and aural adverts, and commercial photoshoots.
I am in the process of designing and launching my own business and have plans to flourish this within the coming year, so that would make me an entrepreneur .
I am soon to embark on a very exciting long term project, again, doing what I love, which is what keeps me ticking… and ready for more!
More or less we’re there… perhaps I just found a suitable title…
In a nutshell: “An Evolving Ticker Tape Timer”
(p.s. Hey Jon, I still look forward to c what YOU can come up with!)
To me you’ll always be a Creative Joyologist
