How's it going?

As a business owner, who was once an employee, I sometimes have to pinch myself…

As the sun shone brightly last week, I found myself able to actually enjoy it (whilst working hard, of course!) I was able to take my ‘office’ out into the garden with me. Factor 50 & a nice cold drink, with no one telling me what time I was allowed to clock off at.

Enough about me though.

How’s it going for you?

Are you becoming increasingly frustrated that you’re making other people money, or that you’re not able to find time ‘for you’ (not to mention your family & friends) because you’re working to a ‘traditional’ work schedule in a ‘traditional’ work environment?

Let me tell you a secret. It doesn’t have to be that way!

The world of work has changed & maybe we have the pandemic to thank for that. It certainly changed our perspectives on what counts as ‘work’ & there are still so many of us who are continuing to work from home, having done so beforehand, too.

It’s not all rosy though & in the interests of fairness, let’s look at it from the other way round.

You might be working from home, for yourself & feeling isolated. You might be missing that interaction with other people.

Well, guess what?

That’s right…

It doesn’t have to be that way either!

I’m speaking from experience when I say that you really do have the power to change your situation. That’s personal experience & the experience of helping lots of other people do the same.

A conversation with Career Garage can help you evaluate where you’re up to & more importantly, where you want to be.

We’ll talk about how to get there as well.

You don’t need to wait until you’re retired to start enjoying life.

Why wait?

Whether you’re employed & looking for advice on how to become self employed, or if you’re self employed looking to get back into employment…

…even if you’re unemployed & looking to get back to work, I want to talk to you to find out how it’s going.

As for me, I think I’ll have another week of sitting in the garden, making the most of the British summertime, because who knows how long it will last!

I’ll be working hard, make no mistake about that, but I’ll be working hard on my terms & on behalf of the people I help.

Some people call it achieving a good work / life balance, but I prefer to think of it as just living life.

Loving life too.

Are you ready to start doing the same?
