When I resigned from my 9 to 5 regular job back then, I didn't really have any grand plans for becoming a business owner.
I just felt it was time for me to embrace the new, to embark on the journey from my comfort to growth and of course, more income doing something I
loved and was capable of doing.
Sure, being my own boss sounded cool and all that, but for me it was more because deep down, I knew that what I was doing was not what I wanted to be doing for the rest of my life ... or even the near future.
So, I made the decision and I told Geoff Bliss my boss at the time, that I was leaving. And I left, making sure the door didn't hit me in the head on my way out!
I had been working as a Personnel & Training Officer for a housing association In East London, so I knew I could teach office software skills as a freelance trainer and that's what I did.
Leaving the familiar behind was scary at the time, but that's where growth happens for all of us, no matter what we spend most our time doing.
And if you know my story, then you know that I proceeded to fail 3 times in my first 5 years of being in business for myself as a trainer and coach.
But here I am today, more than twenty years into the business of coaching and consulting, and I'd do it all over again if I had to.
It's why I encourage people to share their knowledge, gifts and wisdom through creating and offering their own profitable coaching program.
Plus, getting started today is a lot easier than it was at one time, and that means you've already got an audience for your knowledge and experience.
The point I'm making is this.
Every step into the unknown is a step towards the new you, and I'd also say, a "better" you.
So, dare to step out, and watch your potential unfold.
If you've got questions, I've got you covered, just ask.
