Elisheva: Part 3

We finally had the meeting I’ve been waiting for! Going in, I didn’t think there was much more to learn. After all, I figured myself out pretty well after attending the workshop and know I should be a business owner. But I learned that career coaching isn’t just about figuring out what to do; it’s also about learning how to actually make it happen.

Going from where I am today, to becoming a business owner is a big stretch. That’s why I’m starting early! So, the starting point is me today: spending the mornings in great seminary classes, with a long, boring afternoon that needs to be filled up.

Once I have a clear goal, I can plan to start with the end in mind, and work backwards, until we figure out what I could start doing now to get where I want to be in a bunch of years from now.

We sat down as a team: my parents, Shaina, and I. We started with outlining and agreeing on the few “for-sures”: I for sure need to work with people, need to do something where I could learn on-the-job, and need to be in charge. My parents added that I for sure also need to stay in a frum environment, of course.
