Read this if you hate Monday mornings...

There was a time when I HATED Monday mornings because I knew what the next day had in store for me…

Another day at my 9-5 job, answering to the ‘higher-ups’, trading my time for money, building someone else’s dreams while mine sat idle.

BUT…my bills were paid, I made a decent income, and I had good benefits so it was the logical thing for a super responsible person to do.

But I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t utilizing my creative gifts. I knew I was smart enough to accomplish more, but I was scared to step outside my comfort zone.

What if I quit and I couldn’t make any money following my dreams? What if I wasn't smart enough to run a business? What if I couldn’t find a way to make it work or pay the bills or put gas in the car?

So I stayed at my desk job.

Until THEY fired me—or in gentler terms, laid me off. lol.

So there I was—jobless and forced to figure it out.

And now, years later, this story is still one of the MOST defining moments in my life.

I thank God that a crisis catapulted me into my calling and that I was challenged to ‘figure it out’. Without God plucking me from my comfort zone I maybe wouldn’t have ever taken the chance on myself and doing my own biz.

What I learned from this is that no one HAS to stay stuck in their situation.

If there’s any part of you that wants more from life or feels like God is pivoting you into something different, something bigger... I encourage you to pivot, pivot, pivot before you get plucked out. Lol. It's much more comfortable.

If I'm talking to YOU... I want you to take a chance on yourself and your future right now!
