Getting closer to my dream…

Being an entrepreneur and calling yourself a “Self-employed” person is a very challenging journey. The concept is amazing and the benefits are out of this world ….. when you are successful. But the first couple of months (or even years) can be really tough. If you are not totally committed to your dream, you should not even consider doing it.

I experience moments where I find myself wondering if I would have taken up this mantel had Covid not happened. How long would I have plotted along and just existed? How long would it have taken for me to find myself and my calling in life? How much drama and heartache would I have suffered through before taking this amazing leap? I do believe that I would have reached this point …. but who knows how long it would have took.

This virus has brought with it so much negative energy and unemployment have just skyrocketed around the globe, but it has not been all bad. Finding the good within all that bad is what is keeping me (and I hope many others) sane. The good for me is finding my a way to make my dream come true. Or should I say, finding the way quicker than what I might have.

What is my dream? Very simple, to be my own boss. To make my own hours and rules. To be here for my teenage daughter through the difficult times she is going through. To eventually have financial security and freedom. Not to forget about the ability to now properly prepare for my old age (which is closer than I would like). The beauty of working for myself and being a VA, I will be able to do this for many many more years. No-one will force me to retire at age 65.

I’ve been on this journey for 8 months now and I have learnt so much. There is still lots to learn and lots to achieve, I know that. But every day and with every task completed, I get closer and closer to my ultimate dream.
