As of this posting it looks as if I am gainfully employed again! While this is good news, and I am looking forward to being a part of the work force again, this is not the position that I have been dreaming of I will use this as a stepping stone to an even brighter future.
I have to thank my friend Geoff for giving me the ultimate kick in the ass to point me in a better direction (to be enlightened on said kick in the ass, please see comments for my last posting). I am lucky, if not fortunate, to be surrounded with people who genuinely love and care about me. I don't think people are as aware as they need to be when it comes to things like this. What I plan to do now is to devote some serious time in order to rediscover myself. Why should I spend time waiting around for the "ideal job" when I can create my own career path? Why do I have to answer to the boss when I can be the boss? I know what I want...now I just need to find the right path and get there. I want my own business...one that can be profitable and provide for my family. I want to make myself recession-proof and I will do just that.
I am setting off on this new path to create a better Brant...who wants to come along for the ride?
....and Geoff...it's time for Brant to come out and play...I'll be in touch very soon!
This is EPIC! I love it! I feel your fire and I know you're committed to Brant like no kidding!
ReplyDeleteYou probably already know this but if not here you go: I've been doing the exercises in the "What Color is Your Parachute" book by Richard Bolles. It has some sections that I believe would support you with: "What I plan to do now is to devote some serious time in order to rediscover myself."
For me it has been valuable in identifying (and naming!) my favorite skills and giving me context as to what my ideal working environment looks like. I highly recommend it as part of your repertoire for your new journey of discovery!
I'll come along for the ride!
