It didn’t take long to realize which track was meant for me. Because my most loyal client of nearly a decade, preferred to work with me, rather than the agency. This was an inflection point in my career that allowed me to start again and never look back.

It’s okay to feel this way for a short while, but you have to get over it! That sounds simple, but it’s certainly not easy. Where to start?
Imagine your ideal position. Do your research. Reach out to your network. Explore any and all opportunities. Create an envisioned future reality in your mind and then… just make it happen. I’m now celebrating nearly a quarter century of entrepreneurial success. Even though the path has had its ups and downs, I’m thankful for the entire experience. Especially for being let go.
