Moving on into the real world

Well 3 and half years of my life changed me forever! Being in an environment where so much about yourself is being questioned, analysed, realised and formed, there was really only one way to go - to find myself again. It is possible to lose yourself and who you are in a business, a relationship or even a combination of both in my case! I love what I did however I paid a heavy price for it as only afterwards do you realise why it felt so wrong at times. Being employed was definitely a challenge for me as having run my own businesses before it was a real change for me to now be employed and managed. Even though I was very much left on my own and in fact had very little support, I still could not make the decisions I believed were right for the the business in the market space. Having your ideas and beliefs not listened too or constantly challenged was just too hard after 3 years. What kept us all going through these challenges were the great people we met and the fantastic atmosphere of the events. But ultimately it was going to self impload! Which it did so it was time to get real! I had one last course of my Fast Track to do which was Billionaire Bootcamp. I knew it was going to be a big one for me for all kinds of reasons so I braced myself and took the time off to go to Portugal! I also allowed myself some down time too as pretty much by this time I was exhausted beyond comprehension. I had pretty much made up my mind what I was going to do and just needed space to think and be. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made.

After BB I decided to make a dash for my life and step back into the real world and I have to say, I was thrilled to be doing so. Taking your own power back is so important but most of us do not realise we have lost it until something like this happens and you think - wow how did I ever allow that to occur? It's called life and the choices we make! I wanted to make the progression as easy for all however not everything is as it seems or so I found out. But I was taught by a talented speaker that never put good money after bad so I walked away being owed a huge amount and just wrote a line under it all as this was the only way I could move on and get my life back. I also believe that when thinks like that happen it is life that makes the balance and that proved to be more true than even I could expect. It was the end of a very big and life changing part of my life and the industry as a whole, but it was time for change.

Since then I have never looked back as the support I got not only from my close friends but those I worked with and promoted which meant the world. Now I just had one last thing to sort out - my relationship - wow and was that going to teach me even more about what is meaningful and what is not!
