• Internet Personality | The rise of advertising on YouTube has opened the door for individuals with compelling (depending on who you ask) personalities. The New York Times estimates that Jenna Marbles, who they called “The Woman With 1 Billion Clicks” could have earned as much as $346,827.12 in 2012. • Multipotentialites | As a coach for many hundreds of clients, I noticed that there was a certain kind of person who not only had a huge amount of unique “ingredients” but who also felt extremely boxed in whenever we would talk about choosing a particular kind of career or business or work mode. Thanks to Emilie Wapnick, I now know that these folks are called multipotentialites. Emilie coined the term to refer to a person who has many interests and talents and often works in a mixture of the work modes previously described. You can and most likely will work in a mixture of different work modes throughout the course of your life. The only relevant question you need to ask is: At this point in my life, which work mode will support my creative process, and deliver the quality of life that I desire right now? There are no magic work modes. Being an entrepreneur, or CEO of a large company, or a tenured professor is not what is going to deliver your happiness. What you create while in this mode, will.
