As I pass the year mark on my journey for a new adventure I feel like I should share some insights I’ve gained. The start: Exciting, hard work, deep thinking, and exploratory. All of this and off we went to find opportunities. Applying and restructuring and applying more, wash rinse repeat. Hear nothing and hurry up and wait again. Networking: I hated this idea being a private person, so we started. I was horrible at this and needed insight. I realized I had turned a part of myself off after leaving the sales industry and I had to find that part of me again. Unfortunately, it took me until October and November to become frustrated enough to start believing in this approach. 6 month mark: Questioning my decision, process, value. I was not motivated, my patience was gone and I forgot why I was looking to make a change. I had to find rejuvenation. I started by looking at my networking and how many relationships were meaningful. I refocused my efforts into people that I found like mindedness, posts that aligned with my passions, and work that reminded me of what I want in my next step. I started to give more during interactions versus thinking about what I could gain or what may come. I’m human and it’s easy when feeling anxiety and pressure to put yourself first, a direct opposite of what I enjoy doing. When I started to approach all my new connections through curiosity and how can I best support them my network changed into my people, my group. I found motivation in connecting with those who understand that bumps in the road make us aware, stronger, and are just a learning opportunity. I started to find myself again and all of a sudden I started noticing I was missing opportunities to be thankful. When I realized I had been presented positions that didn’t quite align I would pass, but more importantly I was not recognizing that this was still a chance that was presented; be thankful. Instead of why didn’t this happen I had to recognize the positive of the opportunity to say “No.” Just getting that was an achievement in itself.
