Lifestyle Career, By Choice

Posted on April 12, 2012

Lifestyle Career, By Choice

How much do you value your own time…I’m talking about the hours in your days, days in your weeks, and…your time here on this earth. Here’s what happened when I explored that very question myself.

I was in my early 20’s and it was the first time I really stopped and recognized I actually had a choice about this. My employer was a Fortune 500 company and I was doing well, the shiny corporate ladder was laid out before me.

By mainstream society’s standards, I was on track to achieve great success. There was only one problem. I realized there was a direct correlation between the hours of MY day and making this climb. Making the choice to continue on this path meant that I would have to forego some things that were deeply rooted and of significant value to me…giving back and volunteering.

It was at this juncture that a series of “opportunities” presented themselves and I eventually chose that scary “road less traveled by…and it (most certainly) has made all the difference.” 

Robert Kiyosaki by way of The Oprah Winfrey Show is how I was first introduced to the concept of entrepreneurialism and business ownership. This was the turning point for me and just a few months later I was shaking his hand!

I never looked back. I discovered a new truth that I could create a lifestyle for myself rather than just live my life.

Over the past decade, I have lived a life filled with such richness, opportunity, and freedom that I sometimes can’t believe it. The education I have received, non-traditionally speaking, alongside the hands-on experiences I’ve had and the relationships I have built all fill me with such gratitude and energy that now my purpose is to share this with others.

Wondering if you could do and experience the same? Well, there is only one way to find out, let’s keep the “conversation” going, shall we?

Consider scheduling a Whiteboard Strategy Session so we can dig into what is going on in your life or business.
