I was tired and drained after another flight with delays, cancelations, and sitting in airports.
Taking an early retirement to open my own consulting firm was becoming a nightmare. How could I be so wrong about what I wanted?
This last trip had been unbearable. It was sunny and spring was just peaking through the clouds at home and I found myself battling a snowstorm in Canada. And even worst, I didn’t rent a car because I was only going to be there for 2 days. The hotel restaurant was closed so I had to walk (in the snow) to get dinner or starve.
I wanted to be home enjoying the warm sunshine.
Have you ever felt this way? Stuck in your 9-5 job, unchallenged or feeling that you had made a terrible mistake?
Yes, on the outside everything looks rosy. I owned my company but I was still at the mercy of everyone else’s time and schedules. To appease my clients, I had to be on their time and travel to their sites.
It was time to take ACTION! I wanted a life that I could build my business around, not a business to build my life around.
And so there it began. I started transitioning my business online. I mean how hard could it be? I had trained individuals in entrepreneurship and career skills all my life. I had used my mindset and empowerment skills very effectively for 25 + years. Surely, I could teach women to overcome their insecurities and live a life they deserve. Let’s just say my horse blinders were on and doing a great job. I walked right into a pile of …you get the drift.
I spent many of day and night hanging out in Facebook groups, something I didn’t even know existed when I started this journey. And I encountered many other obstacles before I actually got the hang of internet marketing.
I began by addressing issues inside the groups and the more value I gave by answering questions the more I began to get noticed.
After a few months, I was contacted by a client that needed help. To be honest, it scared the begeezes out of me. I didn’t even have anything ready to offer at this time. Sure, I had the expertise but I hadn’t developed any of that information into actual content!
But this is was my answer I’d been waiting for.
It showed me that it was doable and I could do it.
