Hi Reba. I like to be transparent in my dealings with others and it gets my goat when people talk about their overnight success because it sets up unrealistic expectations in others of what their benchmark or milestone for success should be. True success is being one’s self and achieving goals in our own way and time frame.

Learning to say no and not overbooking myself has been huge for me! just these 2 things have allowed me to have some”me” time, and be able to actually be there and enjoy the things I say “yes” to!

That is so true, and a kind thought to share to help counter the prevailing expectation that big changes should be ‘easy’ or ‘overnight.’ xo, Reba

That’s an interesting observation, Beverley. Indeed today’s youngsters are better at taking risks but the feedback I have from the corporate world is that youngsters tend to job hop for money money and instant gratification which is a major concern as attrition costs companies. Risk taking is good as long as it has been well thought out and there is a back up plan. This fact came to light in a big was during the economic crisis of 2008 when white collared professionals faced redundancy for the first time and since they are not unionized, they didn’t know how to fight back. Quite a few had trouble meeting their loan repayments for homes that they had bought which were more in line with their visions of ‘having arrived’ rather than hard economic realities. Thanks again for sharing your insights, Beverley. They provide much food for thought.

They make their own way, do what they love and aren’t afraid to take chances and make changes when and if they are “unhappy” in their work life. I think from a biographical standpoint, these epiphanies about wanting to do more meaningful work and to be of service, do happen at a very specific time in our lives. If we don’t heed the call, we are destined for burnout, as you talk about Vatsala. Having the ability to step back and objectively witness ourselves and our lives, is a first step in taking the steps, whether they be baby steps or giant leaps, to turn things around to recreate a life that is fulfilling and “meaningful” to us! Thanks for the wonderful post, as this is a topic that we all can benefit from re-looking at ongoing in our lives!

Being realistic seems to be the theme that is emerging here, Sue, as is the need to remember that we are human. I feel sometimes when we are passionate about a project, whether it is a business, blog or our work, we forget to remember to slow down so that we can gain momentum again. Thank you for sharing the message with your tribe. I appreciate you!

Balance, self-care, health maintenance are as important as every single inch of progress I make in my business. In fact, without them not much progress would be made.

Thanks, great post. Will share it with my tribe right now.

Thanks Roslyn. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and graphics. Your reinvention story is an inspiration for all of us!

My reinvention did come as a surprise when I discovered a talent & passion for creating jewelry. Once my artistic daughter joined me, the business took shape. 8 years later I still get excited by what we are doing & all I have had to learn to market online.
Since I was always a full time working mom I learned to juggle & always made time for me. Still do. I make balance #1, my todo lists are realistic & I learned how to prioritize.
Great points, graphic & tips.
