Yesterday the decision was made that it was time to fully commit to running my own business. I resigned from my full time job. Resignation is scary - the thought of doing it, the carrying it out and the realisation afterwards. It's as though there are stages of resignation, what's with that? You also can't very well walk back in and say, "Psych... you guys should've seen your faces!!" You'd best be sure it's what you want to do. I was sure.
The only thing I wish is that I hadn't had a cup of tea in my hand, I'm sure my hands were shaking and the cup of tea was difficult to drink, splooshing all about the place. I've invested all of myself in to all of the jobs I've had and more importantly, into the people in those workplaces, so the change is huge. There'll be lots of people to miss.
Having worked completely full time since the late 1990's it's now that I've decided, at nearly 45, "What a great time to throw it all to the wind and just do it!"
After my resignation, I took the hour's drive home; a little bit worried. Maybe I should've walked back in and given the "Psych..." line. 🤷♀️ Nope. NO! This move is everything I have ever wanted and boy, I'm excited for this! Now I have the time for it and my clients.
As I always have, talking it out is the best way to get it out of my system, but the steering wheel wasn't sharing its knowledge (how inconsiderate). So I spoke to a couple of people on the hands-free phone and realised there are people in my close circle who have a great deal of faith in my skills, which further affirms that this is exactly as I thought.
When I got home, I decided to sit down at my computer and contact a client to see if they'd like to talk about my availabilities in the coming weeks. They responded almost immediately... how absolutely, insanely cool!
Now I'm as busy as a bee and I'm hoping that this 'unemployment' caper is just as busy as it appears to have been already. I'm not sitting in the Bahamas with a cocktail but getting work for MY businesses is way better than that, Guys! I'm going to be OK AND I'm ready to work for you!
Now, I'm even more thrilled about being a VA because I now have the time to do it and skills, in which I am terrifically secure. If you have anything fitting in to one of my key service areas and you'd like me to do it for you (PS. I'd love to!), give me a call. Because, guess what? I'm available.
Once we've had a good chat, I can package up full suites of services, tailored to meet your needs. Give me a call on 0417850698 or email me at eve@evervs.com.au . 2021 is going to be so awesome and - I'm ready for it.
