Starting the process of going back to work or school has a lot of unknowns.  It is starting down a new path, which begins with where you are in the process.  You may know which direction you are headed or uncertain where it is you want to go.  For instance, if you left a specific career in marketing with the intention of seeking a similar job, you go down that path.  If you want to change careers by following your heart, which is the path you will take.  Each path has its unknowns, but the right path is the one that inspires you.  It is the path where you feel passionate about traveling and willing to do what it takes to get on your right track.  Which path are you on?  Where is it taking you?  

Daniela - Congratulations to answering your craving to explore the "unknowns."    Yes, the unpredictability can be thrilling.   May you soar in whatever you do.  TM

I was wondering if you are deciding to go back to work, what are your concerns?   Finding a job?  Day Care?  Changing careers?   More education?   Age?  

Yes, yes, not really, yes and yes!

Although I did well enough to maintain our household for 5 years, I can't rely on the consulting anymore. I had too many bad experiences, just not paying off anymore. Foreign outsourcing being what it is. I worry I am past my prime physically, and although I would like to think that doesn't matter, I fear that my intellect will not have as much of an impact as being a size 6 with double D's.

Reality? Check!

Awww..you caught me. I am mischievous and a tad too serious at times..but I do enjoy technology.

I have an eclectic background but found that I have a natural knack for all things digital. I can't count in binary...yet.

I just now started out on my new journey, I am not looking forward to it but it has to be done. I am sure I will find gainful employment in the very near future, I just want to stay with my children. But times are a changing and the old man is having more troubles than I can explain finding employment (he is a tech genious but only one interview in 5 months? Weird.). I do need that little boost...I'll use you as my guide. If you say it will be so...I will do it! :)

Hi Nett - thanks ever so much for sharing your present family employment situation.   The times may be challenging, but this too shall pass.   My experience with myself and clients is that when the going gets tough and you know the direction you deliberately want to take, opportunities start appearing.   Behind knowing what you want is to believe it is achievable.  If your beliefs are contradictory to what you say you want, you will keep getting what you believe.   While I was building my personal and professional coaching practice, I had unimaginable challenges, being a caregiver to my aunt and mother, ending up in the hospital and financial concerns.   I am glad I didn't give up and so are my clients whose lives have moved upward.     

I believe in what I do.  I have coaches who coach me through the challenges and successes.   I know the difference it makes to be on purpose and to have the support to get clarity and be in action.   Nothing is impossible.  You are the possibility of creating from your inner guidance.

I am a 21yr old wife and mother of 2. I have a 2 yr old boy and an 8 week old girl. So far I have been lucky enough to be a SAHM but unfortunately that is no longer an option. I want and need to go back to work but havent held a job in over 2 years and have no education past high school. If it were up to me I would take a job doing something I enjoy, part-time, for whatever they were willing to pay me. However, I need something full-time that pays enough to supplement my husband's income as well as cover daycare costs. I don't know what to do. Where I live any job like that is more than 30 minutes away and my husband works 30 minutes away as well and we only have 1 car for the time being. Needless to say I am a little stressed out and wondering how we are going to make this work.

RedDahlia - Focusing and being deliberate in what you want starts the road to where you want to go.  When you focus on what you don't have, you attract more of it.  I suggest cutting up pictures and words of what you want and put them on a bulletin board, on poster paper and see yourself already achieving what it is you want.  The combination of being enthusiastic, being deliberate, believing you can, taking action, and allowing what you want are the ingredients to attract what you want.   Make a list each day of at least 5 things you are grateful for.  This will raise your vibrational level and feelings to shake off those Gremlins who keep you from reaching your dreams. 

Take one step at a time to climb the top of your mountain.  You can do it.  Anything is Possible     TM

Thank you so much, this is very uplifting advice.

Actually, I'm fifty, and it shows when you see me face-to-face.  But I use that age to my advantage.  It means that I have the experience to offer something valid to say.  I have knowledge to offer, tempered with the wisdom of time.  I'm still a size six, and I make sure I look nice when I go out.  But I didn't like it when I was younger because no one took me seriously.  Now, they can see in my eyes that they'd better.  Have confidence in you and what you know.  When they see that, you'll go forward.
