Directionless in Life

I feel like I have driven myself into the ground these past two weeks. That old familiar feeling: I am doing too much. I am overcommitted.

The difference this time, though: I have come to the conclusion that TAOpivot is not what I want to be doing for life.

I have not talked much about TAOpivot in the past month; I told friends that I would put the business on hold for about a month. Now, I am not sure if that will even be the case. When telling people what I do for a living, I have found that I end up mumbling my usual pitch about TAOpivot. Or, the spark has disappeared.

What am I to do next? I have kept myself busy ( and earning money!) with a few gigs with local startups in the time being. I realize I have reached my burn-out point with all the gigs floating around my head and around my work hours.

I have an idea of what I want to do next after TAOpivot, but I also am afraid of figuring out how to execute this idea.

Thus, I have been lost all weekend and today. My therapists say I should journal about this turmoil I feel; I have done so, but I have not come to any a-ha moment yet. It is hard for me to completely turn my back on what I have worked on in the past year, especially when there are still outstanding clients and prospects reaching out to me.

I just don’t care though.

That’s it, I suppose. That’s all I want to say for now.

The chances of you coming to an AH-Ha moment are pretty slim. If you are waiting for that, it’s a trap. The whole ‘perspiration equals inspiration’ thing is annoyingly accurate. Get out there and do, and see if the next thing is right. Being afraid of anything you haven’t done isn’t going to prove anything to yourself. Overcoming that (probably irrational) fear will.

OK, one quick read for you. From Tess Vigeland, this awesome speech she gave at the World Domination Summit. Must. Read.
