What would you do for a living if you didn’t need to worry about money?
If I didn’t have to worry about money I’d be an actor. I just love being on stage, acting a part. . . .and I think I’m pretty decent at it. But to be a successful actor you not only have to be good, you need to be lucky. After all, there are lots of good actors out their waiting tables. . . and I never really wanted to do the starving actress bit.
So tell me, what would you do?

I would be a translator or something else w/languages. I LOVE languages and being able to communicate with people all over the world. The different languages of the world can be so beautiful and fun. Unfortunately…..language doesn’t always pay the bills. I have friends who have gone into the field and they end up doing other things since there are so few jobs out there for this skill set.
If I didn’t have to worry about money, I would still do what I do today, just in bigger scale… I would travel around world and come back home and decorate my home the way I want to.. and then blog about it all. I would ski more, see more theater and musicals. Take my kids to cool new places, inspire and make other people happy. And create my dream social media marketing campaigns that change the world – because that’s the whole point of business turning social, to make a world a better place for all of us. If this wasn’t my dream job today – I wouldn’t be doing it. I rather worry about money and be without money, than not live my dream every day.
I’d write… I’d write blogs, I’d write books, I’d learn photography. I’d do more of what I’m doing but with less worry, that’s for sure!
If money were in no way an issue, I’d live on a small farm and work with families who are trying to restore their lives….provide a safe haven for ministry personnel who need a place to “work things out” while enjoying many children per week who come to do art, life, and learning with us!
It’s a small bookstore for me. I love books but know that you can’t compete with Wal-Mart, Amazon or B&N, so I’d have to be independently wealthy to spend my time running a bookstore.
Well I have always wanted to be a professional singer, a rock star if you will. If money were no object Icould spend my days making music without a care of whether or not I ever sell an album. Alas that dream requires more luck than acting or being independently wealthy!
I would probably travel and review restaurants. Anything that involves me eating yummy food!
if i didnt have to worry about money i would learn how to paint and start a project to help needy kids learn how to paint
I would be completely, 100% creative. I would try all the art mediums I wanted. I’d get us a new home with a large, airy, and sunlit art studio.
I would have a flower/coffee/book store. Those are all the things I love.

I love these! Personally, I’ll go with the travel/review restaurants
Easy! I’d travel the entire Planet Earth with my family, maybe in the guise of being a nature photographer.
I’d be home with my baby all the time! I’d have a home in the country and we’d have a huge garden, a porch swing and a pony or two. Lord willing, we’ll be there someday. Hopefully while there is still a baby or two around

what a great question. i’d have a small bookstore, open only when i wanted it to be, and maybe travel in a way that made it easier and i would endlessly take classes in new things
I would open a business (nonprofit) to take adults with developmental disabilities on vacations. They have companies that do this, yet it is an expense that alot of them unless their family is affluent, cannot afford. I would take them all around the world, not just the usual Disneyland,etc.
I would do what I already do (minus my job) on a grander scale – larger garden, more craft and quilting projects, read tons more, and perhaps some writing. I would also love to have a refuge for abandoned/rescue animals to help these creatures become the great pets they can be. (OK I have watched Dogtown one too many times…)
If I didn’t need to worry about money, I’d be a philanthropist. Helping people get back on their feet or achievetheir dreams would be priceless~! (NOT huge organizations or companies – they get plenty of fundraising already)
