90 Days to Change My Life

I've just returned from a trip to Turkey with my husband. Prior to that trip, I told myself that when I returned my life was going to be different. I think the decision came when I had a slight breakdown on the way to work one rainy morning during rush hour, where every alternative route I took was just as bad at the original route. This is when I screamed and yelled at myself through tears and rain that I just can't do this anymore. You see, I have worked with this company for over 10 years now -- and while that may be an accomplishment to some, I find it a painful fact. Yes, they have paid for both my undergraduate and my graduate degree but its is doing nothing to further my future plans of growing my business and adding progressive value to my life. Therefore it must go.

Its amazing how things happen. I mean, I've always known that things happen for a reason, but within a day or two after this rush hour melt down a client of my business introduced me to a coaching program. I've always thought about coaching as a need but could never find the money to make it so. The program she introduced me to addressed that concern head-on. Today, I have signed up for group coaching, which is not only more affordable than I can imagine but gives me an automatic support system which we all need.

I've decided to chronicle my progress via this blog. There is a point when you grow sick and tired of being sick and tired. And this just isn't to get rid of that corporate job, but its also to grow both my virtual project management business as well as set systems in place for my real estate clients and opportunities. Its going to be a lovely ride and I'm looking forward to it. So today - October 1, 2009, I have given myself 90 days to change my life.
