I am a forty plus year old career changer who is entering university learning for the first time.
By commencing studies in the world of higher education, I will be learning to work in the corporate world of business via the flexible method of online studies. I am eager to develop computer skills to create captivating and informative communication during my studies.
I left school at 17 and have been a hairdresser ever since. I got married and had four amazing boys the majority of whom have already completed high school, and are now working or studying at university. I had small consultant businesses with Norwex and Thermomix where I learnt some basics but left before it became a real business and my primary source of income. My future goal is to provide a positive impression assist people looking for advice and support for their business.As I type this, I am on the move,
I withdrew from my University and tapped out of My Journey, which broke me because I had a dream and a goal that had just slipped away.
I had a child with Covid where I couldn't do anything except cook and give him meals and drinks. It took two weeks to completely get over the cough and be clear reading, as we have 7 in our house. I had tried applying for business positions, from Personal assistant to entry-level positions. I am investing in myself, and what makes me happy is sharing with others.
In 7 months, I qualified for a Diploma of Business Studies which has given me more experience in my committee positions and building my business platform. I am an independent person who loves to chat, serve others, and take care of my family. The guilt I felt from studying, working and juggling my time makes me happy as I know it will help me be a better business-minded person and have a successful start.
I am starting back at university next semester to complete what I started, I now have a business plan and slowly creating a marketing plan to move forward with. I have deleted my previous social media platforms because I want to show people that it's not easy to have it all and that wanting something wrong is not enough. So I am sharing the ups and the downs because,
Life is messy; why not try simple.
