After college I worked for a typewriter company selling ancient pre-computer writing devices. At the ripe old age of twenty seven, I retired for the next 18 years to rear my two children. At age forty five, I began thinking about rejoining the adult world and took a look around to see what that was all about. I realized the working world had changed and my skills were as ancient as the devices I used to sell. What’s a girl to do?
Reinvent Yourself!
Many opportunities that were once an option no longer exist, while new possibilities abound. I took some time to look back, way back, to find a thread of an interest that has always been there, undiminished by time or circumstances. I heard that you should do what you loved as a ten year old. Hmmmm? I jokingly told a close friend “all I really loved as a ten year old was to play with my friends and have fun”. “That’s it!” she said, “That’s exactly what you do best, you are doing what you were meant to do!” WOW, it’s true! That is how I run my business, my life, and what my workshops are all about. Maybe there is something to the idea.
Give it a try. Think back to a time in your life before the world had an impact on you and remember what you loved…
