These are those things or areas of our life that provide us with a sense of security, safety, . . . → Read More: Stabilize your Core

Ever Thought About Starting Your Own Business?

By Lori, on March 3rd, 2014%

In response to last week’s post (Reclaim Your Career Security) , I received questions from several people asking me: “Would I have more security and control over my career if I simply start my own business?”

I was looking to make large changes in my life, both job and city. I was a happy midwestern resident for nearly 30 years but wanted to see what life on a coast was like and get a dream job. This was a tall order and going into it I thought I would have to make large compromises on parts of my dreams to get any of it.

I went to Lori to help me achieve these dreams. It was the best decision I made.

She focused on two things right out of the gate:
  1. clarify my goals, both personal and professional
  2. get me to stop selling myself short

These twin achievements allowed me to approach my hunt with confidence, patience and focus. My original dream job was to try and combine my technical joys with a personal one. I enjoy large scale data processing with cutting edge tools, music and baseball.  Through the tools Lori taught me and helped me unearth in myself I got that gig that would have fallen into day dream territory before our work together.

And yeah, there's platinum records on the walls of my lobby and I have tons of data to process.
