Linda's Story
Life
When I was very young my goal was to be a teacherÃÂÃÂ
unfortunately I could not get into teacherÃÂÃÂs college and so pursued other types of education and learning. I also was very shy and knew I had to work through that with other skills I possess- so right out of High School I did live theater-a little bit on stage but mostly as a stage manager and assistant directorÃÂÃÂ
after all as they say the whole world is a stage! It definitely helped and also introduced me to my husband, Len. We have been married since 1974 and have one son, Mark, born in 1976.
I love to read and listen to educational audios and attend seminars. We have also shown and bred Champion Shetland Sheepdogs aka Shelties. ÃÂ
Since Quitting is not in my vocabulary I have gotten many different jobs and/or promotions that most people without a college degree would not have applied for.
Some transitions I have had: waitstaff person promoted to Restaurant Manager,...Expand for more
School Foodservice Manager promoted to Training and Development Manager [YES I got to teach- not traditional but still met my goal]. I now take all those skills in building relationships, research and more to be a Marketing Director for senior living. I've tried to study trends and move professionally with that flow as that is where ongoing income can arise.
So, the lesson I learned in that process was that being driven/focused/passionate about something is really the only thing that makes one feel accomplished in life. You have to go after something with all you've got. You have to allow yourself to go "all in".
What I've come to realize is that if you just do SOMETHING, you pass most people out there. It was the same in theater, education, jobs- just a little effort, consistency and continuous improvement thru continued learning, went a long way. It's a big world out there--let's go see it!
Heres to Your Prosperity,
