Many professionals are disillusioned after years in practice.

An attorney friend of mine came up to me after church yesterday and seeded a little concerned. He said, "I really need a change." I guess because he knows I make my living online, he though I might have a few suggestions for him.

Having seen other friends approach me through the years, I asked why he was asking. He said that the many sacrifices were starting to take their toll. He said that often, he was making stances for things he did not feel were necessarily right, but more than that, his family was growing up and he was missing it

Knowing what a strong and ethical person my friend was, I was curious what he meant. He said that there was a lot of gray area in the law, and that often he felt he was supporting clients that were acting unethically.

He explained further by saying that after being with his firm for more than 9 years, and having the high overhead at home to go with is salary, he did not think it would be easy to find something that paid as well, or had the continued upward potential. He said that he had read a book on working from home, but he did not see an obvious niche that he could make a living with. Then he said despite that, he did like the idea of working from home.

As he went on to explain in detail how he had always wanted to travel, how he had dreamt about it as a kid, I realized that he had really spent some time thinking about this, it wasn't a spontaneous decision to come up to me. He said that his wife's father was in the military and he was quite tired of hearing about all the places she had been and seen. He said, that he thought it was time for him and the kids to see a few things for themselves.

Being quite surprised by how much he had really thought about all of this, I thought he was not just brining this up in passing. At this point, I asked him what I felt was the next logical question, "Do you have any money to try and get something started? He said that he and his wife were guilty of putting saving off for too long. He said that the 6 plus figures it took to start a franchise, was out of the question.

I thought I would drop a little bomb on him and check his metal. I said, "You do know that most business owners got through 5 failed businesses, a bankruptcy, a divorce and a whole lot of sleepless nights don't you?" He laughed and said that's why he was talking to me. He said that he had hoped I would help him avoid a few of those landmines.

I asked him if he knew Clark Howard the famous radio personality and consumer advocate. He said of course, he loved that guy. I said, "You know he got his start in the travel industry. Not only that, but it is a 5 trillion dollar industry and the fastest growing industry in the world right now." He said, "Wow that would be amazing. I didn't expect to hear something that wonderful during our first conversation. I said that I had just the thing he might be looking for.
