In Jan 2022 I will be 60 and after a lifetime of a couple of careers and countless jobs, I am at last doing something I love which is drawing and designing things.
I was amazed that the first tip Robin Sharma said was to journal! I feel that at this point in time that never before has it been so important for us all to express ourselves by journalling and to be more sustainable....and amazingly I make sustainable journals printed on 100% recycled paper using vegetable-based inks here in Australia...honestly!. So already Robin Sharma has made me feel that I am moving in a good direction.
My goal is to be the go-to for sustainably printed journals/stationery in the Wellness Industry, adding a lovely gift for businesses to give to their clients on retreat. By 60 I’d love to have a fabulous website and online business (and team) that will generate an income that will support me. Its a big dream and sometimes I think I am being silly. I have only designed 3 journals so far so am really at the beginning of this journey. I feel a little embarrassed to even be writing this down as it seems so far fetched and almost bigheaded. I
signed up for this course because I felt quite alone in my journey with this and ‘who would buy my journals/art anyway’...lots of self doubt. I also have such a lot to learn to remarket and getting out there and wasn’t feeling exactly very brave!
I feel more confident already about my direction with my sustainable journals and stationery...I expected to hear about journaling on this Quest just not for it to be one of Robin Sharma's top tips.
Looking forward to this Quest immensely!
