Starting over later in life, finding joy, success, and how you can do this too!
Have you ever wanted to rewrite the narrative of your life? Well, I have and I want to share my story and share how you can do it too.
I lost the sense of who I was at my core. My core values were in conflict with my daily routine and I felt trapped. Have you ever felt that way?
I was in a rut working a 9-5 in higher education, sitting at a desk, and slowly dying every day. My job did not allow me to tap into my collaborative and creative side of problem-solving. The status quo was good enough. After doing that for 5 years, I left my full-time gig and pivoted to photography.
The biggest thing I had to overcome was the willingness to take a risk. Letting go of a full-time salary to embrace creating a new client base and replace my full-time income.
Of course, that wasn’t going to happen overnight.
In this podcast, I will take you through the 4 steps that I followed to get back to who I am and to find a career that I am not only passionate about, but that also feeds my soul and fills my bank account.
Then, I’ll give you my action steps on how you can get started down the path of starting over too!
I followed my 4-step process for two years and then relaunched a new website that showed proof of the work I had done and that spoke directly to my ideal clients. I knew that taking the time to have examples of my work, talent, and technical skills would attract my ideal clients, and I was right.
Today, I help interior designers, builders, and architects get their design projects published. In my first 6 months of business, I was published in 6 different publications, launching me down a path I could only have dreamed about when I worked a 9-5.
My strategy has also helped creative entrepreneurs become more visible and the “face of their brand” because they realize the importance of professional images to represent themselves and their businesses.
So go, do, fall down, learn, and do it again. I believe in you! If I can do it, you can too.
