How to Carve Your Own Path and Start Your Own Business

There’s nothing like journaling to make you more aware of the passage of time – that and my VERY grey roots.

When I was journaling today I was thinking back 23 years ago when I made the big leap to start my own marketing business. I went to the library on my birthday and registered my business. I’m not going to lie, I was TERRIFIED!  I had absolutely no idea how I was going to create a business and who my customers were going to be.

I had told my boss of 8 years a few weeks prior that I was leaving to start my own business. Knowing that he wouldn’t be too happy, I wasn’t totally prepared for his response. He looked me in the eye and said “You’ll never be successful doing your own thing, you will be back to me in 6 months… Oh and don’t even dream of doing work with any of my customers!” I was devastated. I didn’t think he’d pat me on the back and say “Good Luck” but I think I was hoping for a bit more support than that. Telling him I was leaving was one of the scariest days of my life – I was 30 years old and carving a fresh path all by myself.

Flash forward 23 years and here I am taking all my years of knowledge of business building, marketing, wellness and life and putting that into a new business to help you in your next chapter of your life and the thing that’s different this time, is that I have your support and the support of others in this journey which makes that so AMAZING! And I am here to support you in your journey too!

You are not alone in wondering what the next chapter of your life looks like. And you are definitely not alone in thinking that it’s incredibly scary.

I created the Your Strengths Inventory - Discovering You Workbook with YOU in mind. It’s a step-by-step guide to help you to discover the real you! Who is that person you see in the mirror each morning and what do you want to do to bring you joy in the next chapter of your life. This guide will bring you clarity.

In this guide you will:

1. Take an inventory of all the work experience you have
2. List all of the interests, hobbies and things that you like to do
3. Given action steps to find out how others see you
4. Identify 3 action steps you can take to get closer to creating your dream life

So many of us when we reach 40 start to wonder what the next chapter of our life is all about? This guide will help you to define that by helping you to define YOU!

Is the next chapter about starting or growing a business, pivoting a business or turning a side-gig into something more? Let’s work together to define that. You deserve to live such a full life!
