Oh, how did I overlook these. I wasn't ignoring you! I thank you for taking the time to share.

You need to sit down quietly and start getting inside your own head. Meditate, read, challenge yourself, contemplate. Write things down and keep a journal.

Thanks, Eisho. I think I've been waiting for a bolt of lightening to hit me on this purpose thing. But it seems to be consensus that it rarely happens in that manner. So, I'm taking all of the tools and advice people have given here and I'm going to look deeper in myself.

It's exhausting though, so eventually, I hope to increase my rates, with copywriting maybe, or the coaching (a dozen clients paying my full fee should do nicely). and maybe the occasional paying speaking gig, etc.
I'm visualizing success! Focusing on what I DO want ;-) |
That's great! What an encouragement. I would definitely like to try writing some on the side to increase my skills and visiblity in that area. I wish you great success and thanks for reminding me to focus on what I do want rather than what I don't. All of you have been great about keeping me looking at the right things.
