Hello Martha, what helped me is doing stuff that I love and turning those into a life purpose. It took me a few major tries to figure out my path and mission.

What do you love to do? 

Try putting those into the diagram below:

This diagram is from the book, Guide to Investing by Robert Kiyosaki. 

Tip: After you figured this one out, look at Spiral Dynamics starting at stage orange and go to stage turquoise with this diagram. Leo has a Spiral Dynamics clip  (aka Graves model).

Another tip: In the meantime, try to do something you love as a job if you must work. Try to work within your interest. 

Best of Journey 

[Peace and Love]

It sounds like you would benefit from taking Leo's Life Purpose Course.  You need to find out what you enjoy doing and brings meaning to you.  I felt the course was definitely worth my time and money.  I discovered my life purpose is to help people along on their journey and to help other people find their life purpose.  And I do that by using my holistic healing (hypnosis, reiki) abilities and as well as pursuing my art.

You didn't send the wrong message at all, you're fine.   I've been where you are.  And I could literally list the crazy different jobs I've tried and done.....I've bounced around, but I've learned so much...I was a: preschool art teacher, professional researcher, waitress, Bugs Bunny at Six Flags Magic Mountain, hypnotist, exotic dancer, floral designer...etc....lol.  I get it ...I totally get it.  

This is good that you are inquiring and that you want more from your life.  That means you are willing to change and to do whatever needs to be done to bring you happiness and success.

If they are cutting your hours it sounds like you need to shop around when you  have time off to find something to supplement your income.  A lot of it has to do with what you can tolerate and what you enjoy.  What works for someone else may not work for you.  That's why it's so important to find a life purpose and a  job or something that you LOVE to do.   If you're going to spend the rest of your life working for something....you might as well make it enjoyable, meaningful and leave something that will impact the world.

Good luck on your journey! I know you can do it!

Hey my sister has a passion for sewing and design and she did not go to school and developed much more skill than other girls that completed college for it. Have a vision and work at it.

Sewing sounds interesting actually if you really like it. I have some friends who help their income by doing historical costumes for the fantasy community, one who makes corsets etc. Although I don't think any of them have it as their main income.

You will probably need to advance your skills though, both in sewing and in business, and build some group of semi-regular customers, so prepare for a several years-long path. So you may still have to find a better paying job for now, although one you don't love. (Better said then done, I know.)
