I think I need a whole-life makeover.
I don’t have it bad. I realize that. There are tons out there who are far worse off than I am. That’s not the point. The point is that I want more. I want to live, not just exist. I want to be able to do things at the drop of a hat. I don’t want to have to plan for years for the least little luxury. I want to be able to spoil the ones I love, and I want to be able to give back to my community without ending up in need myself.
I don’t think this should be all that hard.
I have been blessed with a good brain, a nice imagination, and a phenomenal support network. I know that if I can just formulate a plan to make my way in this world that I will have no problem in the follow-through.
I have spent the last few years trying to come up with some way to both make a better-than-average living and make myself happy in the process. I have mentally beaten myself senseless trying to think of something, anything, that will make this pipe dream a reality. I have a good head for business, I’m great at organization and planning, and I have the people skills to make almost anything work. So why is this so hard?
Today, I have decided that maybe, instead of trying to pull a plan out of the ether, I should focus on exactly what it is I want to gain out of life. Maybe in doing that I will see a pattern emerge that will lead me down the path I need to take. So here it is – my list of goals:
1. I want to be making at least six figures/year within the next ten years.
2. I want to be able to travel extensively.
3. I want to work outside the standard office environment.
4. I want to be able to feel like I am creating something, not just providing a service to someone.
5. I want to work in a field that allows me to be as creative as I desire being.
6. I want to work for myself.
7. I want to be able to work from anywhere, not just a set location like a store or office.
I think that’s a good start. I might add more as things pop into my mind.
Now, anyone know what my next step should be? Is there some magic question I need to ask myself that will help me figure out where to go from here? Any help would be truly appreciated…
WOW that’s a list and a half you have there. And i know where your coming from.
As to where you should go/do to for fill your make over, i suppose it all depends on your work strength in what ever line of work you do or want to do and are there the opportunities to out there for you in your chosen field to reach your dreams?
well, i have a degree in business and accounting, but, frankly, i can’t stand the thought of using it
i also have a fair bit of artistic and design talent, which is what i would LOVE to do… but i just can’t seen to find the way to make that a reality
:pullshairout:
well your degree in business and accounting will come in very useful once you start your own business up lol
Your artistic and design talent, i take it that means more in the clothing line or am i way off base here? if clothing, then maybe you should look out for a new up coming label where you can get your foot on the ladder within that company, then as you lean more and get noticed, you can branch out with your own artistic and design talent`s? Maybe a few nights at night college in what ever field you want to get into would help to?
bends down and picks your hair up and hands it back
i like clothing design, but i’d probably lean more toward shoes and bags TBH
and ideally i would like to work in home design or decor… i like hearing someone say “i wish my room looked like so-and-so” and finding a way to make it happen
and ty… the bald look isn’t for me anyway LOL
Well how about making some of your own bags to start of with and sell them on line (ebay and such like)and also maybe customising shoes to your design and selling them, but i`m not sure if you are allowed to do that?
And with the home design or decor, Put the word out to your friends saying that you would love the chance to design and do a make over a room for them. Then you can keep a book/photo`s of all the stages that you went though right up the the finish. At least that way your have a portfolio of your work.
Phew glad you not “into” the bald look LOL
I’ve actually been toying with the idea of selling my things online… funny you should mention it. I’ve never sold anything online, but I think if I found the right place it would work well
Thanks for all the advice!
(keep it coming! LOL)
You should test the ground so to speak, list an item on ebay at a price that you feel is right for your work and then take it from there.
My pleasure lol
Goood job my advice is freely given haha
