Feeling frustrated with sales for 5 years in my 20's...ugh. Med school for 5 long years....argh. An adventurous year working in Thailand...with enthralling blogs capturing my every up and down throughout the year... Off to Bali for 5 months to write my book (which I still intend on definitely finishing!!) .....and now I've been back home in Seattle for over 3 months. So now what?!
Well, I must say, I'm LOVING this Indian summer, thank goodness! And I'm also loving living with my mom and Chris. After being on my own for 18 months in Asia, waking up everyday to my smiling mom's face is a true delight.
So what's next for Dr. Jody? I'm creating my DREAM! That's what's next! Here are the ingredients = helping other people improve their health + being an entrepreneur (ie, forever being my own boss!) + leading groups/ speaking/teaching + having a flexible work schedule + travel.......Ta dah! In a nut shell, although nothing is on the website yet, I now own the domain, 'TakeAHealthyVacation.com"
Phase One: I have put together a workshop entitled, "Make 2010 Your Healthiest Year Ever!" (and the toned down title for the yoga groups I market it to is, "Living in Optimal Health: A workshop for creating balance in your life.") Regardless of the title, its all about helping people live healthier lives. I've already sold a popular Seattle yoga studio on it and they want a 3-hour version. An elite gym in downtown Seattle wants a 2-day version. The fitness club I'm meeting with tomorrow wants a 1-day version. Barnes & Nobel is so excited about it, they've already told me they want to hook me up with a speakers circuit they are organizing. The best quote from my 'work day' today (while sitting on the couch in the sun at my mom's house) was when I was talking to Barnes & Nobel and they asked, "Are you prepared to work with us? Because we could have your schedule booked."
Phase Two: After doing who knows how many titillating workshops around Seattle and collecting volumes of contacts, start holding my 3-10 day health vacations anywhere around the world.....and voila! Jody's dream career is born.
Phase 1.5 - 2.5: Publish my book (which the main intention is to inspire people to follow their dreams) and see what kind of wings it has and what kind of doors it will open for me to expand my name and my career.
After spending my life since I was 7 years old wanting to be in a profession where I could make a positive difference in people's lives, I feel that this time to create my very own vision of that reality has finally arrived. There are not words to express my gratitude and excitement...so I'll use symbols instead: ***!$$#%&!!!***
(Now, if I could only find a husband and start making my own insulin, my life would be my wildest dreams come true.) :-)
I believe in it! I hope we all experience our wildest dreams come true!
Happy Autumn to all,
Jody
