"Take a chance cuz' you might grow"When I was in college I had so many options on what I will do after I graduate. Ironically, I'm still doing the job that I was doing while I was in college. Perhaps I'm too comfortable where I'm at and my confidence in myself isn't so high to go for what I wanted. These past few years I can't say that I haven't learned anything or wasted my time, because I learned much more about myself. I moved to Vail away from everything I know to experience something different and to see how I'd do in a place where I don't know anyone, I started my little nail business in Denver and 2 years later it has flourished quite a bit & I met a wonderful man that I experience love with everyday.
However, I'm revisiting an old goal I sort of gave up on after college. I had visions of being a website/graphic designer. I'd still like to do that and maybe get on the web developing side as well. I'm ready for a challenge and a career change. I feel a little disappointed that I never went through with this goal so I would like to conjure them up again. I know I can do this, I don't know why I gave up on it. I guess I had a calling to do other things first. I'm feeling burnt out at my current job and it's motivating me to try something different to earn income.
I just gotta' stay motivated and I should make a playlist, Gwen Stefani will definitely be on it. Some steps I've taken to work towards my goals is that:
- I signed up for Lynda.com - A site that has high quality tutorials in computer programs and other stuff.
- I will complete a whole tutorial a week (they take several hours to complete).
- I'm starting to take one half day a week to work on my skills and business.
- I will have my website up by November 1st or sooner
- I hope to take on a lot of small projects to gain experience and have a portfolio to show employers by August 1st, 2013
