Most people don't know what they want.

And to be honest, who can blame us?

At an early age we have been told to:

• Go to school

• Get a job

• Chase promotions

• Get a mortgage

• Buy a house

• Raise a family

• Get a few weeks of vacation per year

• And follow the traditional path

🫠

The only problem is…..

..after a few years a lot of us realise that this path doesn't make us happy.

We start feeling stuck.

Asking for permission

The traditional career path is all about asking for permission:

• Permission to graduate

• Permission to get employed

• Permission to be invested in

• Permission to get a raise

• Permission to buy a house

• Permission to go on vacation once per year

Most of us have been taught to follow that path and not question.

We chase targets.
We chase the next milestone.

We work to make someone else rich.

More, more, more, more..it's a hamster wheel that never ends.

Until....something in life happens that makes the wheel stop.

And we realise: this is not the life I want.

Instead of just accepting it for what it is, we need to start asking ourselves: what do I want?

I did that 3 years ago.

I realise that not everyone can go on a career break.

For me it was transformational.

These are the questions I asked myself:

1. What gives me energy?

2. What do I enjoy?

3. What do I dislike doing?

4. What am I good at?

5. Is this skill needed out there?

6. What kind of life do I want?

At first I felt lost.

I had been employed my whole life.

Now I was standing on my own two feet for the first time in my life.

I started taking steps in that direction.

And it hit me hard:

The only way to find clarity is to take ACTION.

That’s how we find clarity.

And its 100% normal to feel super lost in the beginning.

With each step, it gets easier.

Day after day after day: I built the operating system for the life, career and business I wanted.

Today I run a lean, fast moving, profitable cash-flow online business.

I choose when I work.
I choose how I work.
I choose who I work with.

If you’re in the same situation..or maybe you have already started and you feel lost..

DO NOT WAIT.

Take action.

You will make a million mistakes (like we all do) and that’s how you will learn and improve.

Learn what skills you need to build the life and business you want.

Reach out to people who have done what you want to do.

Learn how to position yourself.

Learn how to sell.

Start before you feel ready.
