Curve Ball

In my life time I've been thrown so many curve balls and I'm getting used to dodging them.  But, that doesn't mean I don't sometimes get knocked down by one, only to have to get back up and start over.  If you want to know my life story let me know.  My friends say I've lived in a soap opera and when their lives get boring they can call me for a good dose of reality check.

Through the process of building my company I have come to realize that I'm headed in the wrong direction.  This has come as a huge shock to me, but at the same time an even bigger relief.  Which is shocking!  Although it has knocked me completely down and I'm on the floor a little dizzy thinking of starting over.

I've heard others say things that make me believe they are passionate about their business and where it is headed.  You can actually see the passion in their eyes and hear it in their voice as they talk about their business.  I've wondered why I've been having such a hard time getting excited to work every day.  Now I know why!!

While doing my coaching program I have found that I'm not feeling passionate about my business.  Don't take that the wrong way.  I love real estate and probably always will.  I just happened upon it in 1994 and have loved it ever since.  It makes sense to me and comes naturally.  I enjoy the people I meet and the agents I have worked for are pretty awesome.

But, do I want to do it for the rest of my life?  No.  It's that simple.  I probably will, because I really like helping my agents.

But, I want to write.  I have suppressed my creative side way too long.  I want to create.  I love graphic design.  I want to learn to build websites.  I want to do branding for businesses.  I want to use the other side of my brain and see where it takes me.

So...here I am.  Starting over.  AGAIN.  The good news is that I didn't spend years creating a business before I realized it.  And I have Marisa Murgatroyd to thank for that!  Without her inspired questions and guidance, I may not have realized it until years down the road.
