Hi There,
This is my first post ever! I am excited and a little nervous. I was having coffee with one of my friends and we were speaking about all this web stuff, social media and SEO and SEM and Blogging and I said that I had to start my blog that I have been putting it off for about 2 months now! Time does fly! So I had to think about what to blog about. So I thought I would take the very ingenious Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David way and blog about nothing!
Well, ok not totally about nothing .... you see I have been laid off from my job and while it does pose a good time to reflect and ponder what your next steps are it is also a time I think to re-discover, re-invent yourself. Ok ... so some of you are saying, Michelle, how many times are you going to re-invent yourself!!?? Yes it does feel like I am in this position more times then not. But here is the question or questions I have. I have at least 8 different things I am pondering and contemplating to pursue that it freezes me up to where I do nothing at all until yes, I get another job! Then all of these thoughts are on the back burner again until my contract runs out of another wonderful economic downturn happens.
So here are the things I am thinking about. Being an artist at heart and creative, it does feel somewhat frustrating to see all that lay ahead of me.
So here goes the list!
1) Blogger! Yes, I could be a blogger. Did you know that this is a title that people have taken on?? I could do my blogg about nothing that actually turns into something!
2)Design a clothing line for Crohn's disease in which I have and can not image being in a conference room meeting and have an accident! Yikes! My clothing line would be designed for that in mind. I graduated from FIT and I love fashion, does this count as experience?
3) Event Masters - This is one of my companies that have been on the back burner. I have experience with corporate events such as conferences, seminars, trade shows and parties and love putting it all together!
4) Connect the Dots - Another company that I formed in 2003 to help kids and adults find their passion and what they want to do in their lives! Kind of like what I am doing right now! I had a lot of fun with this venture and feel "connected" to it still. I developed a program and could publish that into a workbook.
5) Marketing - of course my marketing. Seems like I am always a hired gun and could do this with maybe having all of these other things on the side so I won't have to worry about my contracts running out all the time!
6) My Art! - I love photography, painting, drawing, and have done these things for gifts and have entered into small shows but could take it a step deeper.
7) The Trump Network - some of you know that I joined the Trump Network with customized Vitamins which I am taking and have one marketer so far. I could get into this but don't seem to have the time for this even though I am not working!
8) Write my book - I guess there is a book in all of us and I have been chomping at the bit to write mine!
I feel that all of these are great things but what to do, what to do! Like I said before I don't know where to start so I get frozen about it and then do nothing at all.
Please tell me your thoughts, they mean a lot to me!
Thanks for listening!
Have a great nite!
Michelle
