my mind is constantly racing with ideas
what could i be doing in the later part of my life that serves …
me
my wants
ticks off all the boxes of what i want to do
i’ll be 52 tomorrow. i don’t really like my job. i like the people i work with but not the actual function of my position. i feel like at my age and with my work history, i should be in a more desirable place
i want to be in a more desirable place
but where is that?
i read about people all the time that have experienced that “ah ha!” moment and figured their shit out
and they preach their testimony endlessly
but they always leave the good stuff out
the meat of the story
the important stuff like….. how exactly did you make that happen?
i’ll explain
so let’s say you have that “ah ha!” moment. now what?
what happens in that sucky space of figuring something out and then living it everyday?
did you quit your job?
if so, how did you pay for things?
did you have savings?
how did you pay rent on the new storefront for your business?
how about working on a sustainable business plan while still working 40 + hours a week?
aren’t you exhausted?
how did you get a loan? if not, then what? how did you proceed?
did you family support you?
did you even tell people your idea?
also, how did you get to your “ah ha!” moment?
did you make lists? mind maps? watch master class?
so you had an idea and everything just lined up and it happened?
everyone glosses over the time between idea and reality
what actually happens in that space in between?
