This week, I walked into my boss' office and gave notice for my job of ten years. I am going FULL TIME with my awesome side business that I am so passionate about where I get to help professionals reach their full potential through certification and education.
I am TERRIFIED!
But I am also SUPER EXCITED!
I have been thinking about starting my own business for MANY years. In January 2014, I started taking steps to really focus on it and build it up, with the intention that when the time was right, I would transition to it full time.
I had a whole bunch of items I needed to check before I would consider it. I wanted to reach certain income milestone, to pay off some significant debt, and a few other things.
I have had several opportunities arise recently that led me to believe the time was near.
Earlier this week, I decided to put together a list of ways I could make a little more money to offset walking away from my day job. In that hour, I came up with 24 different ways I could expand the business (or do a few minor side gigs if needed).
Yup, it was definitely time. I decided that the stars had aligned.
My husband is on board with this (though understandably a bit nervous). His only request is that I shower every day and get dressed (LOL, he's read too many stories about the self employed) and that the regular bills get paid.
Those are pretty reasonable requests, I guess. LOL
So, I'm doing it! Effective October 16, 2017, I will be working as the Owner of my own business full time.
I've got several other initiatives I'll be rolling out in the next few months including writing projects, seminars, online classes, and more.
I'm so excited to see where this business ends up taking me. (Ha! I know one place! I have been asked to speak in London in March!!!)
I'm truly beyond thrilled to be transitioning to this business full time.
Have an absolutely awesome day and weekend!
