(www.myorganizedbiz.com) - This week’s B5 Media Business Channel Fun Friday Post has this theme:
Your business epiphany: What one moment influenced your career or business more than any other?
I tripped into my first career. I liked technology and when new software, toys, or information came out, I was there. I wanted to know everything about it and I learned quite fast. It was easy to master new things. That led me to a career as a business analyst: reviewing business processes, finding software solutions, and then testing and implementing those solutions. And I loved it.
But I also loved writing, which led to my second career. I moaned and groaned about what to take in college. I was a returning student, having already worked for many years. As I discussed it with my best friend, she reminded me how much I love to write. “Why don’t you go for an English degree? You love to write. It’d be perfect for you!” And my new career was born.
Why was that such an epiphany for me? I’d never given myself permission to be a writer. To hear someone else validate that choice and recognize that I might be good at was exactly what I needed.
I continued to work full-time while going to college full-time. After school I started taking writing jobs on the side, building up my business. And here I am today, loving what I do. I have great clients, and readers like you, with whom I get to share my bordering-on-illicit love of organization and office supplies.
Can you find a moment that sticks out as a defining moment in your career? What makes it so important to you?
