What’s Your Plan?
As a Career change Coach, I come in contact with people who are at a crossroad. They know they need a change, but aren’t sure exactly how to get there. By reaching out to me, they’ve already taken the first step. One of my deepest held values is the importance of having passion in your life. It doesn’t have to be experienced during romantic love or on the job. Maybe it’s running a 10K or baking the perfect chocolate chip cookie, tending the new growth in your garden or volunteering to get out the vote. If you’re wondering whether there’s enough passion in your life, what’s your plan?
If changing careers is on your to-do list, check out my latest blog post on how to improve your resume by answering one simple question.

Yeah. I need a change, I am passionate about animals, but instead I work with corporate type A people. I don’t have money for a career coach, but I need to figure out a different path.

There are sooooo many things i wanna do. I have accomplished some of them and still working on the rest. But it is more likely to be associated with my career move from one job to another gain as much experience as i can get and make my own business. Also traveling is an important part of my life there are so many places i want to visit.
When would you like to start your business?
I have never thought about putting a deadline for that. I know i suppose to do so, but whenever i think about it i figure out that i dont have to push myself just because i have insufficient time. I may stuck with unsuccessful business just because of that.
Deadlines are very useful. They focus the mind and help us prioritize.
My plan is to retire early in 13 months. However We are getting a new boss so it may come sooner or later.
So my excitement is all about learning and enjoying every passion I never had time to pursue before 🙂
That’s so exciting, Gigi. Please keep us updated on your journey.
