It was one year and five months ago that I lost my full-time job in management. I was fired. Not let go, not downsized, but fired. It was absolutely one of the happiest days of my life. I was miserable, but didn't have the courage to quit. I'm really thankful for God working that all out for me.
I'd been marketing and growing my speaking business on the side and was thrilled that I'd be able to focus on it more. That was then - this is now.
I've spent the past seventeen months spinning my wheels and have come full circle. I've met alot of wonderful people, both offline and through social media and have learned so many valuable things. I wouldn't trade the challenges, obstacles, and tears for anything, as this has truly been a learning experience.
As I enter 2010 and beyond, I'm holding tight to the positive experiences that 2009 showed me. I'm laser focused on what I want and have a relentless drive to not stop until I get it. It won't happen overnight, but I'm committed for the long haul. Each day I look for others to share my experiences with in hopes of making their journey a little less difficult. I understand that we each have to endure our own set of life experiences to get us from where we are to where we want to be and I encourage you to embrace every minute of it.
I'm here for you AND with you every step of the way. Together, we can make it happen. We've come too far to turn back now. No matter what you do, giving up is not an option. Get clear and keep moving forward.
What's your story? I'd love to hear it.
