So two decades ago I was a hairstylist, and I had my parents talking about how its not the right career. You shouldnt be doing this. You need to go to college. And I listened. And so Ive been an accountant for about 20 years and I cant stand it. Im good at it. I just dont like it. So initially I was thinking I would get into image consulting, and Ive decided, after trying that for almost a year, to go back to doing hair. So right now, Im in the process of rebuilding my confidence, getting some models, things like that. Just getting back into it. So its been great! What problems and  challenges were you having when it came to this summer? Time. Of course. I have one child at home and my husband and I both work more than full time. And its just hard. Im sure a lot of you out there know finding any minute where your childs not bugging you and you have to do something at home. Its almost impossible. That was kind of why I joined the PLAN course because I was in CRP but I wasnt doing as much as I knew I could. How did  you come to know about the PLAN course and my planner? I had the plan. I downloaded the 90-day plan and I printed it. And I would do it for a few days and then kind of let it go, and it would stay in my bag or wherever. And then, I believe it was when I was in CRP, you started talking about this PLAN course you were going to do, and youre gonna try it out. I was hesitant at first because I do feel like planning is something that everyone (in my head at the time) it was just, like, Why cant I get this, like, why dont I understand? Like, why am I not planning it? Like, It should just be obvious. Im not dumb, I should know, and I dont. Thats when I just decided I was going to do it. What did you think when you first joined the PLAN course? I was excited. I could tell after that first training you did, I was like, Okay, this is gonna work. Like I can see how you know, youve built it up for us and all the different modules. I could just see how it was gonna work. How did it feel doing the PLAN course? I was a little nervous, especially before it started, that it wasnt gonna work for me because, you know, we all think were so different and special. But the course was really just designed for anybody, like anybody could take it, no matter what their circumstances are. What do you think would have happened if you continued along like that same routine? I think Ive said this before, but I always felt like I was kind of like playing business, like it was fun. Lets make a business plan. Lets do whatever. And now I feel like I actually see these things happening. I have deadlines in my head of when this stuffs gonna happen. I know its gonna happen. Like I have a whole way to get there and this whole blueprint of how Im gonna do that. How do you plan it all as a busy mom? In the mornings, I was trying to go to the gym and then come home and work on it. And then my son would hear me when Id come in. So, like there was none of that time. So after going through the PLAN course, I realized to start going to Starbucks every morning before I go home. Im there for about an hour every weekday. And thats when I do my planning. The first thing I do, as Im turning on my computer and I get my planner out, is I start writing. Ive been reading my vision journal every morning. Im looking at my annual plan every morning just to kind of keep that excitement going. I come home and my son wakes up when he hears me come in the door, and then he goes to school. And then I shower and get ready and go to work. Its been really great!
