Business
There’s a quote I heard years ago that I’m crediting Robert DeNiro “the next project you do doesn’t have to be bigger and better than your last project.” Years ago, I was leaving a role working in the music industry. I was miserable, burned out, not really sure what to do next. I took a job at a warehouse where I was flinging boxes on and off trucks, picking and packing orders and driving a forklift (which I had never done before). The most stressful part of my job was going a few stories straight up in the air on a forklift, stepping off the lift onto a pallet where I had to grab the boxes I needed. For someone partially afraid of heights, that was a bit of a daily worry. That job was not bigger or better in my preconceived ladder of success. Outside looking in, it was several steps down based on my skills, talents and passion. However, it was absolutely the right place for me to be to get where I wanted to go. This step down gave me better footing and it’s been a foundation I’ve been building on for years since. http://www.idea2actions.com.
