Several years ago a new neighbor moved in next door and we became friends. As we became acquainted Melodey shared her plans to find a job. A few weeks later she mentioned this again, this time with a sigh, and a confession that she actually dreaded finding another job. She listed the kinds of jobs she thought she could land, and told me how depressed she felt every time she thought about how much she would not enjoy the successful outcome of her job search.
By that time I’d noticed several of Melodey’s skills that I thought could be marketable as an entrepreneur. I remember clearly the moment she later told me had been a turning point in her life.
I looked at her, paused, and said, “Can you consider the possibility that you might be able to earn a living without getting another job?”
She paused as well, and took in this new idea. She spent the next few weeks planning her new business building project, and began a consistent process of marketing and delivery of her chosen products and services. It’s been almost ten years, and she now has a successful business as an independent musician, creating music on her terms.
Now, you may not want to be an entrepreneur! You may not want to be a musician! I am betting there is something you would like to improve about your life that you feel discouraged about implementing, and my core message to you is … “Can you consider the possibility that something wonderful and beyond your current frame of reference is actually more achievable than it appears to you right now?”
