It was my double 21st birthday earlier this week. As I reflect on my last 12 months, I am genuinely gobsmacked, a bit greyer and a little bit proud, at how different my life is since last year. Read my blog post My Top 3 Birthday Tips. Words of Wisdom to reach your full potential this year:
1. My son. It’s no secret I was a parent, but passing his GCSE’s, adjusting so well to college life after expecting sixth form and ongoing part time acting work for Television, starting driving lessons – I am bursting with pride and cannot wait to see where he ends up. He is only 17! (bring my baby back) 😌 There were tough times working full time and being a good mum – so this makes me happy.
2. Getting my first learners and clients on board. When you go it alone in business, you are unsure, nervous or scared even. Even though you are passionate about something and I know it can work, there is still doubt too. However, this has made me even more determined and focused to achieve my goals while helping others to achieve theirs. I want to inspire! 💪
3. Going from Employee to Employer – probably my biggest shift and this has taken some getting used to. Setting up my company Upskill Online UK. Being my own boss and getting to help the people and businesses that I can genuinely add value to, gives me little gulp in my throat (sad I know) 😊 I’ve learnt so much and made some mistakes but they have been great lessons along the way. The next year ahead is exciting for sure!
So, My birthday words of wisdom to you are:
1. That frustrated feeling that has been disturbing you – listen to it and take action! I battled with the same dilemma for many years until I done something about it. Trust me when I say you will reach your full potential and your life will change for the better. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it 😉
2. If you are in a job that is no longer serving you – ie. If you are not earning or learning or ideally both, find something else. Life is too short to overshadow your own desires for others that will not help or serve you as well in the process. Everybody can eat at the table of success (whatever that looks like to you) 🌟
It’s actually up to you how much it is filled – and what you eat. (metaphorically speaking) 💯
3. Learn something new EVERY SINGLE DAY. I cannot stress to you how important it is for your business, mind, body and soul! Learning is delivered in many forms eg. Books, videos, podcasts, webinars, conversations. It doesn’t always have to be an online course! Just saying 😊
