Never say never…

How is it I can set off with such a clear defined goal of what I wanted to do when I left Banking and only 11 months later end up on a completely different journey?

When I left Banking last June, I did so telling myself I never wanted to work in Financial Services ever again and with a very clear defined goal of wanting to climb the ladder in Network Marketing. As an aside, purely to bring the pennies in (whilst I built my Network Marketing business), I did remote freelance Business Support Services (BSS), however by accident I found myself working with some very interesting small businesses and my interest in my BSS business developed further. Working with smaller business has made me feel like I am making a bigger impact, which is what I am thriving on, instead of having to jump through hoops to make a difference.  

So here I am now working with amazing entrepreneurs supporting their business remotely including a very successful Network Marketer (who has done it the “right” way), Landscape Gardener, successful IT entrepreneur who is now running amazing Parentpreneur Programs and an Independent Financial Advisor – yes remember I said I never wanted to go back into Financial Services! Hmmm. All of these people are making a huge difference to people’s lives in very different ways, I find it fascinating and exciting that I am part of it all.

On reflection, it was actually the Corporate World and its set up I no longer liked, that feeling of being a cog in a huge wheel just wasn’t for me anymore and I wanted to get away from it and some of the unsavoury characters I unfortunately came a cropper to at the end and not the Financial Services Industry itself.  

So how did it happen? I was approached by an old colleague who is now an Independent Financial Advisor - he was desperate for a Paraplanner, I had capacity, I would be able to put my qualification to good use and if I am totally honestly I was desperate for the money. It is ok to say that we need the money, as the first couple of years in business is tough and I will openly admit I found it horrendous, from a decent salary to then a zero income, completely reliant on my husband with two huge mortgages to pay, having never had to rely on anyone else since leaving home at 16 – a situation I never want to find myself back in.

I must admit, I felt I had failed myself when I agreed to go into Paraplanning as I had so clearly told myself all along “I never want to go back into Financial Services” and here I was going back on my word. As it happens and this is where I eat my hat, freelancing for one-man band is so far removed from working within a huge organisation that I have found I am enjoying it far more than I imagined, loving it in fact! Yes, the red tape and regulation that the FCA put upon us is annoying but that’s beyond our control so not much point moaning about it. Being a Paraplanner is a little like being a Private Detective, you have to know everything about your clients, which suits me down to the ground because I’m very nosey and like to know everything about people.

So after starting off doing one thing, I’ve ended up doing something totally different and even in the process of looking into two other businesses where I have particular passions - Networking and helping people in stressful jobs with busy lives to manage how they feel about the world so watch this space on those. Why look into other businesses when I have so much going on you may say? Well I am loving it that’s why! When you love what you do it does not feel like work more like a hobby so as long as that continues I will continue to follow my passions.

Something else I thought I would never do in a million years either is Public Speaking after historically being terrified at the thought!  Fast forward 11 months and guess what?! I’m a Public Speaker, sharing my journey with lots of other hopefuls in the Corporate world that there is more to life.

So the moral of the story here guys…. Is never say never, as you may end up eating your hat! I also said that I would never go self-employed (I was risk averse at the time) and look how that ended up!
