I had a sudden thought this morning that here I was sharing all my aspirations with no explanation as to how I have arrived at this conscious decision to embark on this amazing journey.
I won’t bore you with my complete life history, just the last year of it. My partner found an amazing career opportunity in an industry he loves a year ago. It required us moving to a small township called Oamaru, which is about 1 hour north of Dunedin towards the bottom of the South Island in New Zealand. We decided to make the big move, organised the kids (the two older ones didn’t want to come down with us from Auckland) and the youngest (the one with Autism) joined us when we were set up and ready for her. We bought a house I love and I started a job in a real estate office as the admin person. It was clear from very early on that I was passionate about real estate, property and people. It also became clear that I could not manage the required hours behind the desk with my daughters needs. Becoming a sales consultant definitely seemed like a good way to go and I started sitting my required papers.
I should also point out that I grew up in a family real estate business, and I am incredibly grateful to have a wonderful partner that is supporting me during this process.
In September I stopped working in admin and became what I call a sales cadet, doing all the running around, learning as much as I could and being introduced to the bosses/mentor’s professional development cabinet. What a score!!!! She lent me some of Bob Proctors work. I started listening to it all the time. I went to the library and got out several motivational books to read, including The Secret. I had watched The Secret about 4 years earlier and believe it or not fell asleep during it. I obviously was not ready to hear, understand and make change to succeed in my life. I can’t believe I wasn’t ready. Oh boy am I ready now! I have been absorbing all the information like sponge. I love it!
I want to share my actual plan, what I am doing everyday, every success and even the bits that question my faith in knowing where I am and where I am going and what I will achieve. I do wish I had this motivation and understanding when I was twenty, but I guess 38 it is still young enough to have the energy and drive to undertake such a vision but also the strength and experience to be able to share and give back to others as well.
Ok, as this blog is meant to be about my journey moving forward, I will stop and tomorrow continue with ‘moving forward’ .
I hope everyone reading has had an awesome day today and please feel free to share your thoughts, ideas and experiences by commenting. I am excited and inspired by listening to others.
