And we like this success without having to break our back for it or bursting budgets set out for it. And when we are able to do that we feel satisfied and confident about being able to do the next task well.Now it is up to us how much we enable ourselves to do a good job. For example if we need to save money we may go overboard in our economizing...more

If you have decided to give up your great job on land and follow your dream of landing a job on a cruise ship, you may already have experienced how tough the industry truly is, plus you may have friends and family quietly questioning your sanity.Instead you'd probably be working on a cruise ship right now... perhaps getting paid to travel around exciting places like the Caribbean, the Med or the Far East!Throwing in your job can be very risky, but it does have enormous rewards - the opportunity to travel being one of the greatest.Sure, some people send off ONE job application, land an interview and then get hired right away. But I can assure you this is definitely not the norm!For everybody it takes a lot of persistence, effort and determination. It takes the ability to shrug-off rejection and to pick yourself up from disappointment ...and to carry on regardless until you are offered that dream job.My own journey to getting a job on a cruise ship was FULL of frustration and rejection. And I have a ton of rejection letters I could show you from lots of cruise companies, including Disney, Carnival, RCCL and a LOT of agencies and concessionary companies.Did I let it affect me?

To picture an Alaskan fishing trip, imagine fish practically climbing into the boat by themselves. The fishing is incredible in Alaska. Remember those nature films of grizzlies swiping rivers of fish by the mouthful? They were probably shot in Alaska. You'll find that Alaskan fishing trips are no different. People who have stayed in Alaska fishing lodges tell stories of dipping their lines in the water and coming up with a catch. It's just that easy. Alaska has some of the finest fly and salt water fishing in the world, which explains the popularity of Alaskan fishing trips. I know one couple who stayed in an Alaska fishing lodge who caught 5 different species of salmon and grilled them up for dinner. Alaska's world famous Karluk river, near many high class Alaska fishing lodges, is one of the few places in the world where you can sight-cast to Chinooks, silvers and steelheads in knee deep waters. The water is crystal clear and beautiful. There's nothing like being the only one out on an Alaskan fishing trip. You'll find that many of the waters used by Alaska fishing lodges are solely meant for the lodge, so you can fish all day and not see a soul. You'd think that would mean peace...more
