Diary of a portfolio career
Quarter 1 of 2023. Last year, I set myself a personal target of working for myself and expanding my businesses. I thought what could I achieve if I just focused. My questions to myself were:
What do you wish to do? How will you do that? What do you need to get there? I was able to focus my career direction into 3 areas:
- Education Consulting
- Coaching
- Authoring
These are umbrella terms and they have a lot more under them. Once I had clarity then the work could begin. Being an entrepreneur is not a task for the faint hearted. It is a risk, a challenge and also very exciting! Each quarter I will share a few highlights with you in my “Quarterly Review”
