YOUR STORIES!
Karen's Story
My children had all left for college and I was not sure if I wanted to go back to school,
take up Bridge or work for my husband’s business. I had been so used to being
active in the kid’s school that it was as if I didn't have a purpose any more. Someone
had recommended the book “What Color is Your Parachute?” It really helped me
decide what I wanted to do. I had always enjoyed antiques and auctions. So I started
a business arranging house and garage sales. My clients are mostly out-of-town
family members who do not have the time or interest to price or sell their family
heirlooms that they no longer want. It is the best thing I have ever done! (Except for
taking care of my family.) I never thought I’d have a business of my own. The goal
worksheets on this site have helped me decide that I need to advertise and create a
marketing plan. It feels great! Thanks. Karen
Heather's Story
I was in a job where all I was feeling was stress. I wasn’t making the kind of money I
wanted to either. I couldn’t see myself doing this for the next several years. One
Sunday morning after I had read the Want-Ads I looked at the circles I had drawn
around all the jobs I might be interested in and realized they were all so different.
Before I called any of them, I jotted down what I really wanted out of a job on the back
of the coupons section. I kept that section taped on my refrigerator. I realized that
what I really wanted was a position where I could use my accounting background to
help businesses and not individuals. I wanted to work for a large corporation and not
a small one. That meant that I needed to work downtown and would probably have to
get an apartment closer to town. A year later I had done all of these things and I am a
lot happier. Heather
