Decisions

Decisions; some are easy some are hard.

I am a planner. I like to plan and prepare for the future. I am happily married and content in that area of my life. But I am thinking about buying a house, having children and being financially stable. Right now, I have none of those three things.

I am on a mission to become more successful. While I dream that someday this blog and my YouTube will be successful enough to live off of, I need to find something more substantial in the meantime.

I am considering training in massage therapy.

Now before you doubt, hear me out. Massages not only feel amazing they are also beneficial to our health. I love getting them and I know for a fact that people would love receiving them. I would be helping others, both physically and mentally.

I’ve found a school nearby and have been researching their program. The 200-250 hour program (which is what you need to be certified and start your business) is available for a reasonable fee (but high enough to make me take this decision seriously). Night time and weekend classes are available so I would be able to work while learning. Class would begin next January (or at a later time if I need to wait) and each session is three months long.

Once graduated, it’s up to me to find a job and make a living at this career. I believe I can do this. Every time I've checked the local Craigslist in the last year the two top jobs consistently available are for massage therapists and hair stylists. If for some reason a position isn't available somewhere I will do mobile massages until I can find a Spa. Like with this blog, I will make it happen. I will research what needs to be done and do it.

Thoughts?
