In the spring of 2019 after moving from Georgia Back to NY I got a Temp Job in communications. This job had full time 9-5 hours, I wore business attire, a set lunchtime, and a lovely cubicle. This was my first time working in a full-time capacity doing a job directly related to my degree. It felt weird. But I knew I needed a steady income.
At first, it was fun. Having colleagues, sharing stories, meeting new people. As the days and weeks started to pass, it became less fun. I found myself deathly bored at work. Thatās when it beganā¦. I started daydreaming again. Daydreaming led to writing. Writing led to listening to podcasts and ebooks. My entrepreneurial flame was once again lit and it felt amazing. This job had served its purpose and it was time for me to go. It almost felt like role play. āThe story of the 9 – 5 employees who quits their job to start a business.ā
May 2019 I incorporated what would become GSD Solutions. A breath of fresh air. The HBIC was back. Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is C to the E O.
Thereās a quote that says āOnce you hit rock bottom the only way to go from there is upā. I had hit rock bottom. Going back to basics, having the opportunity to dream allowed me to see the vision for what I wanted to build. Now I was on my way back up.
Here we are almost 3 yrs later powered by that same dream. Over 200 successful client events, being able to grow and create job opportunities for our team (in the middle of a global pandemic) , and expanding day by day.
The Get Shit Done Summit was the seed. Its fruits were
– The Art of Getting Shit Done
– Doing the Most The Misadventures of Entrepreneurship Podcast
– GSD Solutions
I shared this story to say that things take time! You will have stages and phases in business and in life. Pace yourself, honor your journey, and keep living!
I hope this series inspired you to Get Shit Done and keep getting shit done!
You got this.
