In light of the many changes in the job market, many people are telling me they feel Stuck. In. The. Waiting.?
Waiting can be so uncomfortable.?
Which opportunity will hit first?
When will the opportunity happen?
What do I need to do to secure the opportunity?
It’s like you are in The Hallway.?
A long narrow passage.
With lots of doors.
You're in the place between no more and not yet.?
How you manage the passage of time while you wait makes all the difference.
Sometimes the universe gives us the gift of time. This could be due to unemployment, the ending of a project, or because we are choosing to pause.?

The first step is to ask yourself, ‘What do you hope to achieve at the end of this pause?’?
While many of you may say you want to find your next gig or an employment opportunity, I’d offer that this is also an opportunity to dig deeper into what’s possible.?
The second step is finding the balance between structured and unstructured time.?
We want to be both ready and prepared.?
Ready is a mindset. It means you can start at a moment's notice.?
Prepared is doing the work. Making plans. Training. Doing.?
When people allow time for balance, they often tell me that not only have they found their next work scenario, but they also have developed new habits, improved skills, started a new hobby, broadened their circle, and increased their creativity.?
Ultimately, you may end up with similar results; however, do you want to be exhausted or inspired when the door of opportunity opens?
Learning how to manage my mind and my time was the greatest gift I ever gave myself.?
I can show you how to reduce the drama and arrive ready and prepared. Schedule a free consultation HERE to see what’s possible.?
