All in Thoughts
It’s taken me the better part of the last four years to find the right balance between having confidence in my knowledge and ability to add value as a leader, coach and consultant, and recognizing that there is so much that I DON’T know, and being a perpetual student is much closer to my reality (and frankly, all of our realities).
Potential founders fall in love with their product or service, or maybe even the vision of being self-employed and living a #boss lifestyle, but fail at understanding the number one thing every successful business requires: a problem (a problem that people are willing to part with their hard-earned money to solve).
Relationships are so important, in fact, that they are the number-one predictive element of an individual’s success. This isn’t just the number of connections you have, however, but rather a combination of the number, the quality and the depth of the relationship that leads to what is called social capital. So, why didn’t anyone ever teach us this in school?! Per usual, I am here to make sure you are fully equipped with what you need to succeed.. And today, I am making sure you know exactly how and why you should be prioritizing relationship building!
In 2016, I pivoted from consultant to life coach. It has led to achievements that I am so very proud of as well as more abundance and balance. I’m sharing all of this not to brag but to tell you that YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! If you are searching for more meaningful work, a higher salary, a more balanced life, higher levels of inspiration, energy and passion, opportunities to learn and grow, or something else outside your current reality, a career pivot could be exactly what you’re looking for!
Transitions have the power to jettison us into new realms of understanding, life, work and love, making them also some of the most magical and valuable moments in our lives. The tricky thing here is that..in order to get the most out of that super-distilled life clarifying moment, you need to slow down and lean into those feelings of discomfort.
It’s not easy to admit, given I work as a life coach, that my life could get so out of balance, literally leaving out 50% of what typically keeps me sane and thriving. However, we ALL are navigating through uncharted waters, and I can understand how I could have reconstructed my new “normal” in a Frankenstein, haphazard manner.
