Is this really worth all the effort?
I spend a lot of time reading and listening to personal and business development books/podcasts. I am working on my side hustles. And sometimes it feels like I’m just spinning my wheels and not getting any further ahead than I was last week or a month ago.
But then I think about where I am… right now. Do I want to remain here? Hell NO!! I want more.
I want to be able to create a business that can serve other women-in-the-middle, like myself. I want to share my personal experiences, my struggles and my wins. I want to share the “I just don’t know what the hell I’m doing” moments too.
Because, if I’m being honest, sometimes I don’t have a clue!
Here’s what I know to be true: I know that I want to retire from my career as a Medical Laboratory Technologist, sooner than later.
I want to serve women in the middle, like me, and help them rediscover their purpose.
I want to create a place where those women can access the resources they need and support each other.
I want to support my children into their future endeavours and raise Goldendoodles. And I want to travel with my husband.
“The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.”
Brian Tracy
So, here’s what I am doing: I am working on my coaching business, taking on a few “test” clients first to gain some confidence… because let’s face it, we all have to start somewhere.
I am creating a wonderful space to help women-in-the-middle rediscover themselves.
I am working through my very own insecurities (because we’re all human!) and I am raising beautiful goldendoodles.
Putting myself out there for everyone to judge is a very humbling experience. One minute I am thinking… what if I screw up? And then I think… but what if I don’t? I know I’m not perfect but I need to move forward and forget about perfection.
Changing my mindset has been one of the MOST difficult things I’ve ever had to work on. From a very early age, I was taught that I had to follow the “normal” path of life…. school, marriage, family, and work in the same career until retirement.
Is this how you think too?
I want MORE! I want YOU to have more. I want to break free from this mold. I want to teach women that they don’t have to follow the “normal” life path. There are so many opportunities out there, and midlife doesn’t need to slow us down.
cheers, KP xo
