Today, Monday, I made some definitive decisions.
It has been a year since I joined the family business. There was really no defined position for me. I just volunteered and joined in because the person in charge was drowning. Since then, I've been calling the shots. I was making decisions, setting targets and boundaries, and collecting long-overdue payments. I was doing damage-control. This morning, I was asked for my position in the company. I didn't know what to say. Jokingly, my husband said "Chief Troubleshooter." It seemed right at the moment. However, it was too controversial for corporate relations, so I settled on a simple job title. Operations Manager. I do not want to continue being a reactive troubleshooter. I realized that I want to be a proactive leader who will take this company to greater heights. That is my first breakthrough.
Also today, I took a step towards investing in myself and my skills. I realized that aside from time, I really haven't invested much in singing. I've had some background due to my experience with the GC and ACS. I've had lessons way back in college. But, I haven't done much to supplement what I learned then. With the lack of practice due to the pandemic, I've become rusty and have lost confidence in my singing skills. So, I have decided to meet it head-on. I will begin singing lessons next month. Hopefully, I will be able to set my voice free soon. As they say, investing in yourself is the best investment of all. That is my other breakthrough.
How about you? Have you had any breakthroughs recently?
