Who? Me? Yea I just made that happen!
I didn’t always have a vision or even the mindset that there was more than just a 9 to 5 out there for me. I was taught that education is very important and after I graduate high school, I was continuing my education at somebody’s college or university or getting job *rolls eyes*. You can probably relate.
Anyway, fast forward to after I graduated with my Bachelors in Business Administration (yes, I did what my mama strongly suggested) it took forever to land a job, so I settled. I settled into a job because I felt the pressure. You know the kind of pressure you put on yourself when you got people in your ear telling you what YOU need to do. YUP! That kind of pressure! So yes, I took that job because I was desperate, but then, a few months later, I found myself desperate to get out. It was the type of desperation where I’d take any job better than the one I had. Soooooo here we go again *puts hand on forehead*. I take a job that pays more and seems more like my lane. As you can probably guess, to be politically correct, it wasn’t a fit. It wasn’t a fit but I stayed longer than I thought because of the voice in the back of my head, in my case, voices. I had voices telling me why I needed to go and why I needed to stay. I wanted to square up (fight) with all of those voices. It made me even more confused.
A few months into my journey at this job, I had to go to a training and that’s when I started being sick and tired of being sick and tired. So, I started trying to figure out my next move. Yup, I definitely used my free time during this training to do some research, ON THE COMPANY COMPUTER. *Laughs* I’m just kidding, I used the hotel computer, but that’s how motivated I was to figure out my next move.
Anyway, after strong consideration of either going back to school or getting my life coach certification, I chose to get my certification. Once I finished my course, I was ecstatic and I started to put things into motion. I had a Facebook page to put my name out there and I started reaching out to people who I thought may need or desired a life coach. I started making boss moves and I turned my inspirational Facebook page into a LLC. When I created G.I.F.T.S 2 GIVE LLC, I started looking at things differently, I had a new mindset. I knew that I was sitting on gifts and I had to do something about it.
I had the idea to host a vision board party. So, I planned and hosted “It’s More Than A Vision” Vision Board Party. That was it!! This made it real. This made my vision more than a vision. My gifts flowed out of me like I’ve been there before. I couldn’t even believe that was me! This event was a success because this was my proof that I was not created to just work 9 to 5, eat, sleep and repeat. From this point on, it became my passion to encourage people to work in their purpose and not work because of their circumstance(s). It’s your turn! Create your vision, put it into action and don’t stop until it becomes more than a vision.
