One of my long time dreams has finally come true. Even though, some of my readers, friends and acquaintances don't think it is a good move. For them it may not be. For me, however it is. For many years, I have wanted the position of Assistant Manager, in fact for nine years. For the past, 3 or 4 years I have been actively seeking it. Every manager, I have worked for, those 4-years has known of my interest. Some, have even known of my interest to own my own store(s). That is the case, of the manager and owner of a store in a small town. A manager, who even though, I left employment with him some 9-years ago, I have kept in contact with. It is because, of this dream, that I am motivated to get debt-free so that one day, that dream can come true also.
A friend of mine, recently mentioned a book, he seen in the library. A book, entitled "How come that idiots' rich and I'm Not" by Robert Shemin. It reminds me, that I must remember that the only way to achieve my dreams, whether it be promotion, owning my own business, or simply being debt free is hard work. I haven't read this book, but after looking up the authors website, I can quickly see that is the jest of what he is teaching. Which, is what personal finance guru's, Dave Ramsey, Larry Wingett and John Cummuta teach also.
I cannot say how long it will be, before I will see my dreams become a reality. However, I will continue to work hard, to see those dreams become a reality. Yes, it may mean 50 or 60 hour weeks, but it is something I am willing to do, to accomplish my dreams and make myself more valuable.

My dream is to be a stay at home mom and take care of my family. The world thinks I am crazy, but God has given me that desire of my heart even though I am a single mom. I run an in home daycare for income, and I work 60 hours a week doing so, but I am home and with my own kids as well. So I really understand that you have to follow your dream. Ultimately we will answer to God not anyone else. Have a great day! -Becky in NJ
ReplyDeletebeing a stay at home mom is very admirable. I commend you on finding a way to both work and stay at home to be with your kids.
ReplyDeleteFinance is something I love to talk about, and I have thought about making it a career, however, I don't have dreams of owning a bank. Rather, my dream is to own (a) retail store(s). So becoming an assistant manager, is another step closer to that ultimate dream.
