Like a lot of people, I started my cookie business with the hope of growing it to a point that it could support me and my family. I basically was trying to replace my full-time job with my side-hustle. At the time I was working as a community service officer with a police department, but it was in no way fulfilling. There was no opportunity for me to have upward movement. I worked the graveyard shift and the job was monotonous and mind numbing. I would constantly dream of my cookie business becoming massively successful and quitting that job to do cookies full time.
Then, a full-time dispatch position opened up at another police department. I now work at that department where my position is exciting and rarely boring. I still work the graveyard shift, but it is a much more gratifying position.
I'm a nosy person by nature, which is why this job is so appealing to me. I'm also a very nurturing person, which is why I have 5 daughters. This job is exciting, and being nosy is a great quality to have when you're a dispatcher so you can get all the information the officers or firefighters are going to need. I also get to help people in their time of need, which really appeals to my need to nurture.
Tonight I was sitting and decorating cookies, which never has reached the financial goal I had hoped for, and I came to the realization that I am currently very happy with my life. I love my job, I love doing cookies, why do I have to decide between one or the other? Why not both?
The point of this post? Don't limit yourself. Do what makes you happy and life will be so much more rewarding!!
