One year ago today my life changed FOREVER!
(and that's no exaggeration!)
And, today is a TRIPLE CELEBRATION !!!
Today is the 1 year anniversary of me leaving behind my corporate career and becoming entirely self-employed!
I had been running my own business alongside my day job for a few years but, on this date last year, I officially no longer had a job!
After spending over 20 years doing employed jobs in the corporate world, to say it felt weird would be a huge understatement.
Over the following few months I found myself experiencing a whole range of emotions - some expected, some entirely unexpected.
The overarching feeling was one of feeling empowered!
I’d been planning for this - dreaming of this - for several years and I’d finally made it my reality!
Has it been easy?
Er, no!
Do I regret it?
Definitely not!
Would I change it?
Absolutely not!!
Was it worth it?
Hell yes!
I won’t lie - it has been a year of highs and lows!
I’ve battled self-doubt, fear and anxiety!
I’ve also had some huge wins and moments of immense pride!
I’ve persevered!
I’ve been determined!
I’ve been patient!
I’ve stuck with it!
I’ve never lost sight of my dream and my vision!
It’s been hard - really tough at times - but I’ve kept going…..
I’m creating the future I want, and that keeps me going, through the highs and the lows!
So, today I’m celebrating!
And, there’s lots to celebrate
Today, 1st November 2021, the anniversary of my becoming entirely self-employed sees me launch 3 major new aspects to my business
To see these become a reality is amazing and I am filled with pride;
Today I launch my very own podcast!
Made, with love, for other mums just like me - my ‘Kickass Coaching For Mums’ podcast is live and available to the world.
This is a platform for my voice and my message - a message I care deeply about.
If you’d like to listen, share it, or support in any other way - you can find the link to listen in the comments.
Today, I launch my Eat. Sleep. Mum. Repeat. Website!
The brand behind my podcast and the place where I share who I am, what I do and why I do it.
Please feel free to take a look - again the link is in the comments.
And, today I start to create my ‘Inspired Mums Movement’!
The first campaign for my Eat. Sleep. Mum. Repeat. Brand and I couldn’t be more excited.
This will see me launching workshops for other mums and women in business who want to learn to empower themselves just as I have done.
There will be more to come on this in the next few months and I’m excited to share it with you.
There are so many people I want to thank who have supported me and encouraged me on my journey so far. Too many to name but I’ll try my best;
Firstly, to Ben, my husband who has never stopped believing in me (and who has kept earning the money to support our family while I was busy working on my dreams). I am so grateful for your belief in me.
To Gareth, my coach for the last 12 months - I simply wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for his incredible help and encouragement. He’s maintained belief in me even when I haven’t.
To Lloyd, my virtual assistant, who has been a rock, helping me build my business in the background and implement all my ideas with me.
To James, my podcast editor and publisher, to whom I am so grateful for your help in making this dream a reality.
To all my podcast guests, for your belief in my message and for sharing my vision for the creation of the podcast.
To all my customers and clients who have put their faith in me and allowed me to support them in their lives and businesses, especially my marketing coaching clients and students.
To all my friends for whom I have been ‘missing in action’ over the last 12-18 months as I focussed on building my dreams. It means a lot to know that you’re still there supporting me even though I haven’t been around much.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You will never know how much it all means.
2022 promises to be absolutely EPIC as I continue to grow my Eat. Sleep. Mum. Repeat. Brand, share my message and support others through my Inspired Mums Movement and my Marketing Coaching.
With gratitude, always, and immense pride, Karolyn
