What do you want to be when you grow up? What’s your dream job?
It’s a question that we start being asked as early as when we’re at school. Or even before!
When I was young, I went through a whole host of things. Over the years, my dream job included Ballerina, Doctor, Journalist (my hero was Kate Adie at the time)… But those things were left behind due to a combination of ineptitude (both ballet and science!) and simply a change of interests.
Then after university, my hunt for the dream job took me down the route of learning Russian – due initially to the fact that I had already studied French and German and wanted something new; and the fact that I am named in honour of a certain Anna Karenina. I wanted to be a UN interpreter, but sadly verbs of motion and a lack of confidence got the better of me.
Now, though, I am being exactly what I want to be. Regardless of how hard I work, or how many hours, I have my dream job. I’m a working mum with the most amazing little girl. I’m working for myself. And I’m making a difference to people. I’m challenged, every day. Each day I learn new things. I feel like I’ve found what I’m ‘supposed’ to be doing.
So what about you? What’s your dream job? Are you doing it already? If not, what’s stopping you?
If you dream of running your own business – even if something’s holding you back – get in touch with us today, and let’s talk about how the Tabono programme can turn that dream into a reality.
*And if you want to know – if I wasn’t half of the founding team for this business, I’d love to run a cake shop!
