If I could go back in time and have a little talk to myself, I’d tell me…
- You are not stuck. You don’t have to stick in a role that no longer fits you or the company you’ve been at forever just because you have a mortgage to pay.
- People like you can set up on their own.
- Not only can you do it, but you’ll do it pretty damn well too.
- That because you’re a single parent, with a chunky mortgage & school fees to pay, turning away from employment and a regular salary will keep you awake at night but keep the faith - taking the step will be worth it.
- Almost 20 years at the biggest media agency has taught you stuff you haven’t even surfaced yet - you’ve forgotten more than many claim to know 😉.
- And what you don’t know on this new path you’ll throw everything at to learn.
- The relationships you’ve built will be your starting point but the work you do and what your new clients say about you will keep the doors opening.
- Being around for the teen cub when he gets home from school is everything, even if he behaves like he only wants you for snacks, money & taxi services.
- When it comes, the process will nearly break you but redundancy will be the best thing for you at that moment in time.
If it was life advice... I could go back and whisper it would be to bin off 2 of my exes and wear SPF every day much sooner... 😂
