To start the year, I decided to try something completely new. Business has been great for the past couple of years. My life is chaotic with four kids and a lot of stuff always going on, but everything always just seems to fall into place. In the world we live in, where everything seems to be a disruptor, I decided to disrupt my life a little bit.
Beginning this week, I became a part-owner of a Ford dealership. It may make a lot of sense that in my business that would be a natural tie, but the two things are very separate in how they operate and function. It will require more people, more man-hours, and more of my time. But it gives me such a great sense of excitement to embark on something new when so much other stuff is going on.
I’ve always been a person who thrives on being busy. In fact, if I’m bored or don’t have enough to do, things can sometimes be more chaotic than they need to be. But, making myself vulnerable was something that I really wanted to do. I’m entering into a field that I don’t know, investing a very large amount of money, and putting a lot of trust in my own ability to do more than I’ve ever done before.
Vulnerability is not always seen as a bad thing, in my opinion. When you make yourself vulnerable, you see how much more you’re able to do, how much more you can take on, and even how much more you can simply handle from a mental standpoint. Cheers to 2023, where I’m trying to make myself as vulnerable as I can be.
