Merry Birthday! ...Are you Brave?
As Aldous Huxley put it, it's a Brave New World. December 23rd, 2015 I quit my guaranteed paycheck and job as the Assistant Director at BizWorks a local small business incubator to do my business 2nd Chance Consulting full time. I've enjoyed this role for the past four years.
While I was quite successful at it each new day I began to feel a bit of a fraud. A very frustrated, irritated fraud. Every day I got to help entrepreneurs navigate the treacheorous, yet invigorating, waters of owning their own business and they flourished or flopped accordingly.
I on the other hand only got to do MY business on Fridays when I was not in the office, at the crack of dawn (literally 2am) and the weekends. Watching others utilize my advise to bring their business success felt void when I myself had become an employee.
So, while my beloved BizWorks was embarking on changes anyway it seemed, correction it was, the right time to embark on my own adventure. So here I am. Today is Relaunch Day. Second Chance Consulting is fully back in the saddle again.
I have shown myself foolish enough and brave enough to command my own destiny and not as a preconceived embryo (read the book sorry it's 2016 read the Spark Notes or watch Divergent - it was close enough) but as the Master of my own fate. Feel free to join me for the journey... or are you brave enough?
