So where did we end off last week? Somewhere around here right?…
Well, let's continue shall we?
He instead insisted that I harness my natural talents to turn a profit while simultaneously building my brand, but this time, with purpose. After all, any money made from Couttsea would need to be reinvested in itself, right?
You see, what I learned is that you can’t truly plan with a purpose when you’re struggling to climb life’s mountain. It’s basic logistics. You wouldn’t begin the journey up Mt. Everest without a plan would you? I’m pretty sure that no one in their right mind would “just wing it” up the mountain. You would organize your team, equipment, food supply, the works… So if you wouldn’t wing it up an actual mountain, why would you wing it up the metaphorical mountain that is your life?? I don’t mean to get dramatic on you, but …Actually, that's not true... Embrace the drama! After all, it’s true! The best thing that you can ever do for yourself is to act with intention and push forward with purpose.
Through my experience with the Financial Buddha, I came to realize that if you stopped for a moment, took the luxury of admiring how far you’ve come, with the ability to strategize how to get where you’d like to go…. Now that’s when you begin to work with a purpose and this is what I did.
I began to analyse the year before, identifying my strengths, weaknesses, money making ventures, passion projects, comfort zones, 'cash cows' and uncharted territory. It was nerve wrecking. I had to truly come to terms with the idea that some lovable projects were not actually financially viable. It was a wake up call, but it had to be done. strategize
As the weeks progressed, I was in awe. With a few seemingly simple questions and a lot of soul searching, the Financial Buddha lead me to this moment right here.
A moment that I am truly proud of. I present to you: My constructive ✓ constructed with a purpose✓ newest business venture ✓ sealed with the adulting stamp of approval✓ : A company that offers social media management and writing for all forms of media, it is the perfect blend between my love for writing, storytelling, management, and my background in Film & Media. Currently working on my certification in digital marketing (yes, I studied media, but hey, you can never truly be over qualified), I look forward to what the future holds. While Couttsea learns to fly and then eventually begins to soar, I couldn’t be more excited to have found a profession that combines both passion and productivity. You see my friends, leaving your job is easy… You write a few nice words on a piece of paper, say 'goodbye' and walk out the door… What happens after that is the hard part. My fellow dreamers, Where are you in your life right now? Are you still dreaming? Have you taken the jump? Are you leaving your current job to focus on another business? Have you left your job in search for something more flexible and you’re just not sure what that is as yet?? Whatever stage you may be at, let me tell you right now that you’ve stumbled upon the right page! If you’re the person currently unsure about your next step… If you’re the person that is so self aware that you know that you may not be on the right path, but you’re also unsure of how to figure it out alone… If you’re the person that needs to find that secondary revenue stream, or the person that needs to find *what your new business is actually going to be* YOU DON'T NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT ALONE.
This is not a false alarm. This is not a drill. This is simply one adult with big dreams to another.
It’s time to act with purpose. Do you trust me? Let the journey continue... YOUR NEXT STEP:
READY TO FIND YOUR WAY??
