Yesterday,
a writer asked me
if she should risk everything
and quit her well-paying corporate job
to write full time.
I told her
how I had transitioned
from my job in
New Business Development
to building my writing business
by taking increasingly shorter
business contract gigs.
She hadn’t even considered that option.
I gave her even more options
and now she’s thrilled and hopeful
because she has choices.
One of the things
many of us business builders
are good at
is thinking outside the box,
coming up with unique solutions
for various problems,
seeing the world
in different ways.
That’s a gift
not many other people have.
It’s a gift
we can share with others.
We don’t have to
and usually shouldn’t
make the decision
between the options,
choosing for them,
but we CAN ensure
they’re aware of the many options
they do have.
Give other people
the gift of having options.
