Mark Sieverkropp loves his job. How about you? It hasn’t always been that way. Less than two years ago, he absolutely hated his job.

But he found the work that he loves; work that he is passionate about. He actually wakes up and looks forward to work. He is making a difference each day. He is truly living. And he wants to teach you how to live that way, too.
Worn out – physically and emotionally
Mark woke up one day from a deep slumber. He looked over at the clock…
7:37
It hit him suddenly…his mind raced…
What?!? I’m three hours late for work!
Hurry, hurry, hurry. Go, go, go. Get up! My boss is going to kill me. Gotta get my clothes on. Where is my phone?!? Why is my wife yelling at me?
Wait, what was his wife yelling at him? He could barely make it out through the fog of war.
“It’s 7:37 PM, Mark,” she tells him. He’d only been asleep for 30 minutes.
That really happened. To this day, three years later, his wife still laughs about it. His job was wearing him out—emotionally and physically. He was passing out from exhaustion less than an hour after getting home.
His family were strangers to him. He hardly ever played with his daughter. He couldn’t even enjoy the life he was busting his butt for 70+ hours each week to create.
And he was stressed to the point of breaking.
Filled with hate
And when he was home…he admits he was a jerk to even be around. He was so worn out and filled with hatred for his job that he was taking it out on his family. He constantly whined about how he hated the hours, hated the travel, hated his manager, hated the work…in essence, he was filled with hate.
He would even admit that he hated his life.
He never got to see the parts of his life that he didn’t hate (his wife and daughter) because he was always working. The only people he felt could bring some level of joy to his life were the ones he spent the least amount of time with.
Something had to change for Mark. And fast.
What about you?
Maybe you can relate to Mark’s story. Maybe his story is your story.
Maybe you just feel like there’s more that you want to (or should) do.
The world will lie to you, though. It says:
“Welcome to life. That’s just the way it is. That’s part of growing up, part of being responsible.”
You’ve probably heard those lies from your parents, teachers, in-laws, even spouses or friends. But they are lies. Responsibility and enjoying your job are not mutually exclusive. Adulthood does not mean hating your work.
Just look at Mark. He knows what it’s like to hate his job. He also knows what it’s like to love his job.
From hate to love – how Mark found the right job for him
Mark knows what it’s like to hate his work. You’ve read his nightmare. But now…as I said in the beginning, he loves his job.
He told me that he finds himself working long before his family is up and then again at night after they are in bed. He literally has to force himself to not work.
How did he do it?
He credits three words:
Persistence. Support. Personal Development.
Persistence
He kept working at it. He never gave up the hope of finding something better—something in line with what he really wanted to be doing.
Support
He found people that would encourage him, answer his questions, be there for him when he needed someone to whom he could vent his frustrations, and, in his words, to “kick me in the butt when I needed it!”
Personal Development
He sought ways to grow and develop as a person. He read a lot of books, listened to podcasts, watched webinars, and did whatever he could to (his words) “make myself a better me.”
Moving to Work You Love Ain’t Easy
Moving to work that you love is hard. It takes a lot of work and is even harder without support.
That is where Mark’s program Work You Love: One Stop comes in.
Mark and his business partner Scott Barlow have taken everything they learned from their many job transitions and packaged it into a phenomenal membership site that will give you the tools, resources, and support you need to move to work you love.
What will you get with the Work You Love: One Stop?
- Members Only Facebook Group – Peer support, encouragement and unprecedented access to experts like Farnoosh Brock (Prolific Living), Deacon Hayes (Well Kept Wallet), Paul Colaianni (The Overwhelmed Brain), Jo Casey (Work Happy), and more!
- Exclusive Content – Courses like “Networking for a New Job”, “Interview University”, “Happen To Your Resume”, “Get a Raise Guide”, and “Contacting Employees” and more content being added all the time!
- Monthly Webinars– Live and On Demand access to monthly webinars
- Office Hours – Time each month that you can contact the HTYC Staff for help with your career search and transition.
- Member Bonuses – Free resources as well as discounts we have negotiated for our members.
You don’t need to join the Work You Love: One Stop to be able to transition to work that you love. I found work that I love without them. But I can tell you that if it had been around when I was in Mark’s position years ago, I would have jumped on it.
I also know that the resources, information and support that Mark and Scott put together in this membership site will rock your world. You’ll find work you love faster and easier with their site than you will alone. That I can guarantee.
Here’s what one happy member named Kevin said about the site:
…In four weeks I had twice as many as I did in six months before…that just blows me away!
And it can do it for you too!

Loved the story. Great to learn more about Mark. Thank goodness I am doing work I love!
Glad you are too Zech! That’s what allows you to make the impact in the world you are!
It is scary how many people have excepted that you can’t love what you do for a living. The reality is this is where we spend most of our time. it’s so important to have passion for those 40+ hours a week. I left to start my own business 12 years ago and am so glad I did. Thanks for the share
So glad you’ve found work you love Stephanie! Stories like yours inspire others every day!
Thanks for sharing Mark’s story! I am inspired by it! I do not hate my current job, but I am working to make changes as I’m tired of the 1 hour each way commute.
I hear you there Heidi! That kind of commute can wear you out quick! If we can help you in your job transition in anyway, please let me know. You can email me at mark at happentoyourcareer.com
I’ve been doing the commute for 15 years!!!!
You’re a better person than I! I would’ve went looney after 2!
I just subscribed to your podcast. The last 1 and a half years the commute as not been as bad, as I discovered podcasts and now at least I am learning something in the car. I just subscribed to your podcast!
Hope you find value in the episodes! I learned a ton from recording them!!
Heidi,
I would highly suggest Mark’s program (http://happentoyourcareer.com/workyoulove/matt)
They have a 60-day money back guarantee. I know you want need it, but if it doesn’t help you, no risk.
I am currently working through the Internet Business Mastery Academy. I am not able to commit to 2 programs at one time. One is enough for now!
I totally understand that Heidi. We do have a free 8 day email course to help people figure out what they want to be doing for work. Might be beneficial and the right price 🙂 http://happentoyourcareer.com/onestop
