Find the Right Business for You: February 2-6, 2009
Strolling Down Memory Lane
When I made the leap (or got dumped, however you want to look at it… LOL) into self-employment back on Friday, December 6, 2002, I was scared shitless, to say the least. And in the years since, I have struggled, floundered, and put a brave face on pursuing success - but a lot of that time, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.
Ok, I take that back - I knew what I was doing. What I didn’t know was whether what I was doing was what I SHOULD have been doing, as in, “Is this the right business for me?” The last six years have been an evolutionary journey for me, with a bit of a “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” flavor thrown in for good measure.
Enter Tom
Tom who? Tom Volkar of Delightful Work, that’s who. Tom coaches people who want to make the leap from employee to self-employment, as well as those of us already self-employed who are still asking, “Is this the right business for me?” or “How can I get more work life freedom and happiness?”
Yeah, Tom’s my coach. He’s also my friend. He’s also a client. (Hint: When you come across good people, get them involved in your life as many ways as you can! Your life will love you for it.) But because he’s my coach, I know whereof I speak with what I’m about to say next.
Tom’s good. He gives me a headache on a regular basis…melts my brain with those simple questions he asks, like, “Suzanne…what do you most love to do that a lot of people in the world might need?” Yes, folks, I’ve almost had to resort to getting ear plugs to keep my brain from running out my ears and down my neck. But that’s my problem, not Tom’s. You see, until I met Tom, I was doing things the hard way… guessing… hoping… praying… doing a lot of stabbing in the dark… working a LOT harder than necessary to make a great living doing what I love.
Anyway, the point is this: since I met Tom and let him start melting my brain, this business has grown by over 300%. I kid you not. He cuts through the crap like nobody’s business and gets to the heart of the matter without making me feel beat up or stupid. Quite the opposite, in fact. Like I said, he’s good - real good.
My Recommendation
Before you get caught up in all the holiday hubbub, do yourself and your future a favor and check out Tom’s 5 Days of Authentic Business Discovery program. It starts Monday, February 2, 2009 and ends Friday, February 6, 2009, and I can promise you this: come Friday you’ll have a plan.
Even if you’ve already made the leap to self-employment, you’ll get a LOT out of this program. And I absolutely cannot think of a better way to start off the new year! Check out what these folks have to say. They know what they’re talking about - they just finished the program.
Oh, The Irony
Turns out, that warm trickle I’ve been feeling down my neck this year has not been my brain melting. It’s been all those doubts, all those fears, all those self-imposed limits I’ve been operating with these last six years - THEY are what have been melting away.
So, go get your Authentic Business groove on for the new year, and get ready to feel that warm trickle down YOUR neck. Trust me, it feels good.
