Hi everyone
This is my first thread/post on this forum. I hope this is the right place for my conundrum. I'm not a native speaker of English so I'll try to be as clear as possible.
I came across this web site a few days ago, and I was intrigued and hooked right away. However, having read a lot of articles I feel a bit overwhelmed and I can't make head or tail of everything. So I've chosen one area of my life I would like to improve and I would appreciate all the help I can get.
I'll get to the point now
I've decided to change my career. I've realized that my present job/career is not something I'd like to pursue any longer. I don't have the passion for it anymore and just at the though of going to work I feel like a fist in my stomach.
But the more I think about where I would like to work or what kind of new career I would like to embark on, the more I find myself thinking about starting my own business. And just thinking about it feels great! I feel a rush of adrenalin!
The problems is that I don't know what kind of business I'd like to start. I feel confused.
So this is what I've decided: as I don't know yet what kind of business I'd like to start, for the time being I'll work on my second-best choice for a new career ( which is also very interesting and exciting ). But, I'll keep writing down/thinking about possibilities for my own business. I plan to read some books on self-employment, talk with other self-employed people, take additional seminars that could help me later. Even though I don't have a clear idea of how I'll make it happen. And I see this second-best choice as an opportunity to gain some new experience that could help me later.
So this is where I would appreciate your opinions/experience : could these goals be conflicting? My first goal is my own business, but since right now I can't pinpoint exactly what it is that I want to do, I'll start to pursue a career that is my second-best choice (but I also like it). Until I figure out what kind of business I'll set up.
Does this maybe mean that deep down I don't really want to be self-employed? And at the same time I feel it's the right thing to do. I'm confused.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you resolve it? What helped you figure it out?
I apologize if this post is too long or confusing, but it's very indicative of the situation in my head
