For me the first sign was I was feeling so bored.

Somehow I lost all interest in going to work, or putting in my best effort.

Here is how it started.

All along I have been an achiever.

I have always been on the honour roll, have been awarded awards for excellence in programming and what not.

The next logical step was to go get a job.

It was what good kids did, get a job, work your behind off, get in debt and work harder to pay off that debt and get into more.

People comment on your performance.

One day, my boss called me into her office.

She said, you know how managers are sugar coated and all.

Anyways she says, " We have no doubt about your programming skills and work ethics, but you know your communication skills need some work.

Also, lately your work seems to have taken a beating ..."

I was muttering to myself, why me, who is we? and what in the world is she talking about?

I am good, I know it.

Also I work my ass of 16 hrs a day at times to meet those silly useless deadlines and what does she mean slacking?

I turn to my mentor for advice, you know my hubby.

After clearing his throat showing sympathy, and lots of ho hum, he says:

"Well I've been meaning to speak to you about this myself. You see you do need a little work on your people's skills"

WHAT ....

Anyways to sum it all up, she was right, I had to work on my people skills. Talking to computers all day long, didnt make me very good with people.

I started on a path of self discovery which changed my life and my hubby's as well.

Oh, about that job .... I resigned.

Not because of that incident, but since she got me thinking I realized I was wasting all my time, spending no time with family and being questioned for the days when I just couldn't put in 100%.

This was time to change.

You found a new career or want to try a new career.

I was so darn upset, I kind of freaked out or lost it.

After crying, blaming, I decided I wanted to live my dreams.

I started my second career as a kindergarten teacher in my daughter's school.

It lasted 2 months.

I quit.

Then I tried my hand at being a beautician. I quit after 3 months.

I was desperate, then I started a business which didn't do well.

You have decided what you want to do and go for it

I finally realized that all along I was still fascinated by the internet and by making money online.

Also, I loved Internet marketing and designing websites.

That's when our website design company launched. It took off.

I still felt something was missing, that's when I was referred to an article by a friend and I found that I could make money online.

I am using this method -> how I am making money online

I am now a successful Internet marketer, ok almost successful. I am making decent money online, which has replaced my salary from my business.
