MY CHRONIC ILLNESS FORCED ME TO CHANGE MY CAREER

How did I end up here? Well, there’s a question! When I started the whole entrepreneurship journey my original path was to be working with dogs and their owners supporting them to build fantastic bonds and assist with training issues. However, as time progressed my health started to deteriorate and I couldn’t actually pursue or commit to making the job what I wanted it to be. Some years ago, I qualified as a Life Coach and NLP Practitioner as I’ve always known I wanted to help people in one way or another. So, after much deliberation and cogitation, I came up with a new plan that would allow me to follow my dreams, but in a different way and at a comprise that wouldn’t impact my wellbeing. This is when The Mastery Venture was born. A project that will gradually develop with its members for its members and I can use my qualifications along with my personal experiences to guide those in similar situations to the ones that I’ve come through. I have lots of plans for where I want to take the Venture, but with my own health limitations, it’s very much a case of one step at a time. I’m having to adapt to living with a new me, which is pretty damn hard for someone so stubborn, but doable if I have to! Reaching my goal is at the forefront of my mind and just because I’ve now got to follow a different path doesn’t mean that it’s not going to happen. You too can get to where you want to be in life. Unfortunately, ill health, whether physical and/or mental, doesn’t come with a ‘how to’ manual and when reality sinks in it can be scary. But it’s important to remember that you will always have options that allow you to choose if or how to progress and navigate your way forward.  By concentrating on what you can do and want to achieve within limiting parameters will enable you to embark on a courageous journey with focus and determination.  When open to alternatives and compromise you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish. Stick with me I get it!
