I recently had a very familiar conversation with a woman, Brooke, he was sure his career. He loved the atmosphere, the boss who every day at home telecommuting, and of course the fact that their workload was almost zero.
Brooke was able to catch up on their events, industry news and fashion blogs. She said she always asks his principal patron of the way that can help, or if it is something to take the plate. Go to your boss sweet answer is always: "I have everything I do not need this job in front of you Thanks for the offer, let me from this type of work ...." She said he was aware that his boss was the intricacies of the business to protect work and loved the freedom I had. Unless the point of view of an external observer, who was also in the cage.
It was enclosed in a box and can not grow.
After learning that I was in the race, Brooke was an avowed incredibly bored and wanted more. She asked me my opinion on the matter. I wanted to know how you approach your boss and catch more real work. He said he often asks criticism, but his head was always "busy".
From the sounds, their professional development was not on the agenda of his boss. What some companies. If your boss really wanted an All-Star now on, on the way, she put several tasks and help improve your skills. However, it was his boss, the work that she was incredibly close to protect. Maybe he just wanted a magician, and if this is the case, then you can say countdown to a real education and internal movement.
Brooke took it all and admitted that he was not to learn the intricacies of the linen industry, really want.
His real dream was to open a series of accessories shop # Girl Boss Sophia Amoruso . She shared with me that had his Brooklyn neighborhood all - less than a place to buy high quality accessories. The idea was to create an online store and to a smaller window. She knew she could not the traffic and pedestrian traffic online. Then, for 15 minutes. His face lit up when he talked about each plan, every step and every designer wanted to include.
I told him it was time to turn to start your dream into reality .
His current work is driving and it was only on the field. The two positives are wages and low stress. It could easily work in business after work and on weekends. All I had to do is to start to create and start a website with a component of e-commerce, connections with designers.
"But if I fail?" Asked Brooke honest. I said, "you can not know that you have tried, and is not stuck working in the office wondering if flax."
The only thing that stands in the way of our dreams is ourselves and fear plays a very important role in preventing us according to our dreams. Starting your own business is extremely difficult. I also said Brooke should reach them to people in the industry and see if they might be able to "prove" some part-time work in his passion. I could see that she prefers that runs for an e-commerce store everything. No chance - you never know what you really want.
The worst thing any of us can do, is to stay in a job where you get bored.
Everyone has something to offer. "Insert" Do not get in a situation. Be careful, be innovative to find, can develop a new project or a partnership. If you are really in a bind, you embellish your resume and take so that a comfortable situation in bold risks.
You will not regret it.
