Hi All, I could really do with some honest advice please.
I am a trained beauty therapist and worked self employed/in spas/on a cruiseline however for the last 9 1/2 years I have been working in an office. I am so so unhappy to the point it makes me cry and have been for a good few years now. I have realised I need to stop moaning about it all the time and actually do something about it so I have decided to get back in to beauty, something I know I enjoy and that I am good at. Im in 2 minds at the moment whether I am going to rent somewhere or go mobile and am weighing up the options. Ive booked a few courses to freshen my skills up and I have a plan of how and where I am going to advertise and what im going to offer.
BUT……. am I completely crazy to make this huge change in the current circumstances? My plan was to start around November time so I could hopefully get some of the Christmas clients (fingers crossed Christmas isn't cancelled!!) Part of me is like your so miserable, its effecting the people around you, take the risk to make yourself happy then the other half of me is like don't be so bloody stupid, you've got a well paid job which is safe in an environment when so many people are losing theirs!
My job is quite intense and pretty stressful so keeping my current job and doing evening/weekends isn't really an option as after a day working I just don't have the headspace to be able to go and carry out treatments aswell.
Any words of advise would be really helpful, even if it is don't be so bloody stupid haha! Has anyone else taken similar risks that have paid off/not worked
Thanks xx
