Too many roles, how to prioritise?
Answer by Fiona Harrold
Polly asks:
I am so confused. I am 50 well and pretty looking, 10 years younger than my age. I am a trained facialist with a small business making excellent profit on my clients bookings, But I also have two other jobs PA work part-time and home management. I AM VERY GOOD AT ALL OF THEM!I really need to earn much more money than I do but my lifestyle and finances mean I cannot take time out to make a decision. Why can I not make my mind up about what I really want to do? I have read your books listened for hours to your tapes waiting for the real me to emerge! Yet I continue to juggle my hours to suit everyone else and my bank manager and all without any real direction.
Why?
Fiona says:
Why indeed?You don't sound one bit confused to me, just a bit overwhelmed and unable to say No to other's demands. This is your life. Get a grip. You know what you need to do. You have already identified which area of your work is most profitable. Expanding this area is the key. You need two hours, at the most, to sit down and plan this on paper.
Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. Please stop waiting for the 'real you' to emerge - get on with being the person you need to be, to live the life you want. In your case, decisive, dynamic and assertive. Take the Bach Flower remedies, centaury, elm, hornbeam and larch for at least a month.
Go for it Polly. Don't let yourself down.
Get excited about life again, and never, ever give up on yourself.
