 Sis, do you have a sure-fire PLAN for solving the biggest problems in your mid-career and mid-life?

This one hit me hard. 

It hit me hard in my mid-career and mid-life so I MUST share with you. 

Disclaimer...its straight with no chaser so read while sitting!

What if your behaviors/habits/goals are NOT priming you for success in life?

What if you've got success all wrong? 

and instead of success, you are "stuck" in your mid-life and mid-career...

What if you are "stuck" because you were never adequately prepared to SOAR in life?

Think about it, {{first_name}}...

You and I spent the first 3 or 4 decades in life being told what to do and trained to conform to the patterns of this world ...

... we were told to go to a good school...

...get a great government or "pension-paved" job with security...

...get married to a "good" guy...(also on this "success" plan)

...have kids (or if you are Nigerian like me, have TRIPLETS)...

... do well at work and keep climbing the ladder

...and then BOOM...

...from the BIG success that entails- send some money back upcountry/to the village

...somewhere along the way, you then retire

...oh and this also ensure there's lots of pomp and circumstance at your funeral.

But what really happened was...

You and I spent the first 3 or 4 decades in life being told what to do and trained to conform to the patterns of this world so we can succeed...

... and in our 4th or 5th decade we are "stuck", and left "floundering" through life like a fish caught in the waves of life. 

We are unprepared to deal with life's many transitions- many of which are even more complex in mid-career and midlife...

...A few of them being...

... corporate chaos (e.g. how many walls can we climb up even as we look out for the "proverbial" glass ceilings AND integrate these office walls with keeping the walls at home sturdy?) 

... pandemic-complications of sandwich-generation snags (e.g. how many phone/wifi lines do we need to continuously check on the parents AND teach the kids AND stay on top of our KPIs/work targets?

... perimenopause problems (e.g where do I go to fully understand if these mood changes/Night Sweats/Weight gains are just a response to chronic stress WITHOUT being over-medicalized- no more drugs please?!?!)

… employer to employee exit strategy (e.g. how do I develop a sound strategic plan to start/scale my business WITHOUT destabilizing the family and their expectations of my time, energy, presence and money?

…Empty-Nest Nerves (e.g. how do I really start facing the reality that my marriage CANNOT survive the lack of “necessary noise” that my kids brought to my SILENT marriage?  

…and the list goes on.

I know I am hitting ALL the nerves today and really rubbing on sores (sorry, but not so sorry)

But sis, we need to go there. We cannot carry these mid-career and mid-life) conundrums into 2022.

We must acknowledge these issues and address them before they finally suffocate us!

We were created to build GREATER things! < --- you and I both know this but if we keep ignoring the stressors as we transition through mid-career and mid-life, they will successfully strangle our growth and leave us living a life "stuck" with chronic fear and pain.

So sis,

Do you have a sure-fire PLAN for solving the biggest problems in your mid-career and mid-life?

Where do you go to seek answers for your questions as you transition through mid-career and mid-life issues?

I pray you have a clear and simple answer.

Stay-tuned as I share ways to address these stressors (it took me years to figure out so don't miss it).

With God's Abundant Blessings
