Changes

"I don't know if we have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I think maybe it's both" 

-Forrest Gump

 

Me at 22

Working as a dishwasher for $6.00 per hour.

No College degree.

Hating life.

 

Me at 26

Managing teams of 300+ in multiple countries.

Feeling stressed.

Considering change.

 

Me at 32

Laid off unexpectedly.

4th child born one month later.

Completely panicked.

 

Me at 35

Leading sales teams closing millions in revenue.

Earning more than ever before.

Spending way too much $.

 

Me at 42

Completely burned out.

Traveling too much.

Quit my job.

 

Me at 46

Running Educated Exit with several talented former teachers.

Helping highly educated educators eliminate stress and start new careers.

Absolutely loving life.

 

Which just goes to show that life is, in actual fact, like a box of chocolates.

Sometimes you eat the one without the cherry.

Sometimes you get the cherry.

But unless you keep eating chocolates, you'll just never know, will you?

Until next week...

Onward!
