The busier I became, the more I noticed how empty and bereft my life had become. Funny thing is, I actually set my life up with this plan, thinking I could avoid empty nest syndrome if I were busy enough to not notice that my children grew up and flew the coupe after college! I am a general contractor. I thought it was cool to be female and successful in a man's world. However, I didn't plan on the PITA's (Pain In The Ass) clients, with which I'd have to contend.
I am sick to death with my industry and the pandemic only made it worse.
To this day, I still have materials stuck on a freighter in the Pacific ocean, awaiting the crew's quarantine due to Covid-19 illness. So much of what remodeling contractors install come from Asian countries. It's a huge problem with so many delays. I have known for a couple of years that I was unhappy in my chosen field, but the money is really good! Yet, I could not escape my misery and frustration with the day-to-day grind.
Miraculously, I had a couple of disasters happen which greatly affected my company, including a lawsuit and the loss of two key employees. I felt like the Universe was speaking to me loudly. During the delays, lock-down (remodeling is not essential) and free-time, I realized I need to follow my hearts desire. The problem is, I am not completely clear on what that is or how I will achieve it... because I really do know.
Silva Ultramind System spoke to me; rather Vishen's Masterclass did! So there you have it and here I am. I am on an adventure to find my true passion in this last third of my life!
Thanks for visiting my story and I look forward to meeting many of you!
Best regards to everyone, Penny Smith
