I saw this in my newsfeed today: http://screen.yahoo.com/young-photographer-lands-dream-job-214020482.html
Although I hate sharing anything from Yahoo because of the comments the CEO made about professional photographers, I think this video stresses the importance of personal work. This isn't the first time I've heard of people getting noticed by big companies because of their personal work, and it won't be the last.
I remember first hearing about the importance of personal work from Chase Jarvis. Since then, I've felt that one's personal work is their best work. Personal work is the work one does for fun. Not because they have to, but because they enjoy doing it. I feel this allows the individual to produce their very best work because not only are they not being forced to do it, but they're also allowed complete control; with no one telling them where or when to stop. There are no guidelines or restrictions with personal work, and when one has a career where they make a living with their passion, it's important to take time to create for one's self.
