Hi there! Just got to VIP status.. yay me 🙂 . I have learned so much, THANK YOU!! I am also looking forward to going through the Certification process come October. Anywho.. I have spent the last 18 years in Finance and have become a successful Financial Planner making what I consider to be good money. I love my team that I work with , they are like family. There are parts of my job that I like and parts i don’t like, and my commute is anywhere from an hour to hour and 45 min each way. I have thankfully turned that dreaded time into learning time where I listen to your podcasts, or calls that I am not able to listen to live. So this at least I managed to turn into a positive thing. Last fall I decided that I wanted to make a change. I want to help other successful working mothers that have struggled with anxiety, which I have, who’ve let personal goals take a back seat while continuing to be on this hamster wheel of a routine day in and day out. While its not a bad routine ( wake up, get kids ready, go to work, come home, eat, kids sports, watch TV, bed.. repeat, sometimes getting a work out in ) . I want to help these working mothers feel like their own needs and goals matter and want to help them get there. I talked with my work team earlier this year and told them that come next year, I would be leaving to start a successful coaching career. Over the year I have stepped out of my comfort zone and started to get the word out, started a website, blogging, and really working on coaching myself. My current problem is that I will be so excited about this new adventure and then i find myself asking myself.. what are you doing?? Are you really going to leave a job that you still enjoy, making good money which has helped provide more than enough for my family, to start a coaching business from scratch with no income out of the gates? I find myself going down the, I don’t know how to coach people, I know how to do financial planning. How will I get clients, how will I get them to work with me, am I making a mistake? I know this is all part of the process and fear is normal and I need to be OK with all of the uncertainty. I guess what I am having a hard time with is developing beliefs that make me feel more at ease with this decision to leave and sticking to my plan of being done at my current job by next summer so next September I can be fully up and running on my coaching. Any advice on how i can learn to believe new thoughts that will help keep me moving in this direction ? I don’t want to let my own fear slow me down. Thanks so much 🙂
