About Me & My Blog

While some people are looking for jobs right now, I voluntarily resigned from mine and jumped off the corporate ladder.

Why?

Simply put, I was unhappy.

 

For close to five years, I worked in the advertising industry; the past two and a half, at one of the best ad agencies in the country. And though there were some bumps and snags a long the way, overall, my job was good. The people were great. And I learned a lot. Nonetheless, I started becoming unenthusiastic about work and began questioning whether or not I was passionate about what I was doing.

 

Conclusion: Take a leap of faith, try something different and choose happiness over status.

 

So, when the opportunity presented itself for me and a friend to go into business together and open a hair salon, I moved right on it and gave my two weeks notice. I remembered how much I enjoyed doing hair when I was younger and just how happy I was working in a salon while in college.  I also liked the concept for the salon and thought the idea had lots of potential.  

 

So, here I am. Now, partner-and-friend-less, but still on a mission to finish what I’ve started. And open a dern hair salon by January 1, 2010.

 

So, join me as I chronicle my journey to owning my own business, while trying to find myself along the way.

 

My hope is that we can take risks, live from the heart and be of encouragement to each other. 😉
