Today marks 5 years since I walked away from my corporate job. Prior to January 29, 2021, I discussed with my husband about resigning from my position to give me a mental reset. I was on that corporate job for a little over 5 years and honestly I was burnt out. Initially my plan was to take a month off and then start applying for jobs. I didn't feel like I had accomplished enough with to go full-time.
When I discussed that plan with my husband, he said he wanted me to give myself more of a break and solely concentrate on . I was somewhat taken back because I didn't desire to be a full-time entrepreneur. My thoughts were, I got this degree from and I was going to use it in corporate america. would be a passion endeavor for me. Once I made enough money, then and ONLY THEN would I walk away from my job.
God absolutely had a different plan for me! In the first six months after my resignation, I booked 2-3 clients each month. I was SPEECHLESS! Those first six months were vital to my vision for my life and truthfully . Those 6 months gave me the confidence to push forward as a full-time entrepreneur.
I will be honest. Have I wanted to walk away? Yes. Have I cried because the journey seemed to difficult? Yes. Have I applied for jobs because I was exhausted with this entrepreneurial journey and rollercoaster economy? Yes. But everytime I tried to pull back on GOD came through with blessings on top of blessings to let me know is where I needed to be.
So HAPPY FULL-TIME ENTREPRENEUR ANNIVERSARY to Me! Thank you GOD for ordering my steps. 5 years full-time and 8 years in business! THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of the couples that have allowed me to walk with you on your wedding planning and coordination journey. I'm FOREVER GRATEFUL! THANK YOU SO MUCH to my PE Team! You've walked with me on this journey and lifted me up when I wanted to give up. Most Importantly, THANK YOU SO MUCH to my family! You saw how passionate I was about my business and poured into me with love, support and encouragement.
GOD I THANK YOU!!!!
XO- Garbrielle 🙏🏾🩷
