Reinvention Tips
“What do Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tyra Banks have in common? Reinvention!
They’ve all had incredible success in one area of their lives, reinvented themselves by pursuing new successful careers that didn’t have anything to do with what they first set out to do.
Madonna went from pop singer to actor, film producer, clothing designer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger went from Mr. Universe to actor to Governor of California.
Tyra Banks went from Supermodel to television talk show host.
And let’s not forget my claim to fame; welfare kid, beauty queen, SWAT team member, author and speaker to Reinvention Expert.
So what’s stopping you from leaving behind what you’re doing now?
Oh I know what you’re thinking; I’ve missed the boat, my opportunity came and went, I’m not young enough, smart enough or strong enough to put my energies into pursuing a new reinvention.
We all have something burning inside of us that we want to go after. Some of us have achieved our dreams, but what happens when that dream is realized and it turns out to be anti-climatic? You find yourself going through the motions in that field knowing you’re not as fired up about it any longer.
You’re probably thinking, “Now what? I already invested so much time, money and maybe even education to fulfill my dream. This is who I am. People know me as the mother, the doctor, the teacher, etc. Do you expect me to drop everything and change my life’s course?”
The answer is, “Yes.” You don’t owe it to me, you owe it to yourself. It has been done before. As a matter of fact what if I told you, after raising five children, my aunt went back to school in her mid-fifties to become a nurse. She’s been an RN in a cancer unit now for over 10 years.
I challenge you to do one thing today. Think about this: If money wasn't a factor, what would you be doing with your life today?
“A life without reinvention is comparable to a life spent in purgatory!”
