I have written this post about 3 times now, each time erasing the
words because they just weren’t expressing what I wanted them to (yes my
words often have a mind if there own). This time I think I finally got it right.
My life has recently taken me on a wild winding road. A few months
ago I decided to look for a position back in the restaurant industry to
allow for some time to implement all the great things I’ve learned
recently without having to worry about money coming in. A job instead of
a career, just for now.
It took quite a while for this idea to sit well with me as my doubter (I call her Britney)
kept telling me that if I did this I would be quitting on my business.
I’m not a quitter! I can make this work! But as much as I told myself
this I knew that in order to get where I want to go, I need to make some
changes.
On May 1st, I began working back in the industry that gave me so much
to begin with. I came into the experience with a new outlook, setting
opportunity for growth and change at every turn. I was exhausted as I
have not been on my feet that long in years. I was memorizing and
cutting, eating and playing, but most of all I was starting to see my
future in a new light. My goal of via 100k year was closer to being a
reality than it had been in years.
So where is the rollercoaster ride, right?! Sounds pretty straight
forward. Well just as I was getting used to my new life, I was presented
an opportunity to interview for a national non profit organization
where my social media and marketing skills would be used.
I leaped at the chance as I felt like it was just what I was looking
for. Well… I got it!!! So once again my life has taken a turn, but I
know this change of pace will make me a better business owner and more
competent leader.
My head is spinning, my feet are soar but I’m ready to run into this new path at full speed.
I am so interested to hear how you deal with major changes in
your life. Do you run and hide or welcome them with open arms? Leave a comment and let me know
