Pay attention to this shift. Think about how you feel when you’re walking out of work or shutting down your computer on Friday vs. how you feel on Monday morning. These are all signs. If I had been paying attention, I wouldn’t have been able to miss them!
My personal experience of getting fired, starting and growing a business doing what I love has taught me a boatload of things. I want to share these things with you to show you how POSSIBLE it is to do what you love and get paid for it. There truly are great things waiting for you! I know because it happened to me! I got FIRED from a job that I thought was SAFE and was forced to figure things out quickly!
So what can you do if this is hitting you in all the feels? The good news is that there is a lot that you can do, but none of them are easy. The actions you can start to take today to push past all of these fears and judgements you are placing on yourself are hard work. Honestly, it’s work that never ends.
I did not see the negative impacts that shit job was having in my life until after that 2x4 moment. It took looking back to see the impact of having a job that was unfulfilling, had my stress levels off the charts, and meant I was working all the shifts at all hours of the day! ALSO, so much OT it felt like I lived there!! All of that shit, messes with a person and those around them A LOT!
There’s this thing that you want to do. Maybe you’ve shared it with a few people that are close to you, or maybe it’s been cooped up in your head. It feels a little scary! You’ve been thinking about it for a while, but you haven’t taken action. You couldn’t possibly make this thing, your dream, a reality! Because... (you’ve got a list of ‘reasons’ why you can’t in your head, and it’s a long one).
Seeing you NOT START to follow your dreams is the most heartbreaking thing to me. This all comes back to me looking at how different my life would have been if someone hadn’t made the decision for me. If I hadn't been fired, I would very likely still be stuck in factory life and not even know all of the possibilities that are out there for me.
