I keep making the mistake of using only one skill—like a hammer—to build my whole life or business. I find that even when that one skill makes me money, I'm still not happy because I know I was made for something more. Now, I realize I need to see all my acquired skills as tools that can be blended to build a new "mega-skill" that aligns with my true purpose. I am choosing to focus on life coaching, helping people find their purpose much faster than it took me over a decade! I am building my new career by putting all my tools together. I am curious about the unique recipe of tools in your metaphorical tool belt. Mine is in the list below. My Tool Belt of Skills - My Mega Skill Recipe - Clarifying short-form branding and marketing words - Coaching - Active and reflective listening - Grounded peace during conversations - Deep understanding of men's fashion and style - Writing, producing, and performing country and Christian worship music - Writing books, long-form writing - Speaking - Camera presence, video editing - Leadership, people empowerment - Business systems and automation Mega-Skill: life coaching. Challenge: Post your unique recipe of skills below. Maybe we could help each other, be a case study, network better, etc.

Yesterday, I recorded a video about how I decided to leave my comfort zone 9 months ago, when I quit my job. I started being an entrepreneur full-time and began this journey of self-discovery through entrepreneurship. I learned so much about myself, about my values, about what I truly care about, and most importantly, about what I don't want. Was there a time in your life where you had to sacrifice very important things (for me, it was stability, identity, comfort, certainty...) to choose purpose and alignment?
