AoL 014: From NASA to Fitness Coach – Knowing When It’s Time to Move On with Laila Rahmatian
Summary: <br> Many people who think about being a creator full time have to struggle with a particular decision. That decision is whether or not it's viable. I mean, it's a very big deal. Sometimes this struggle is amplified from financial instability or from a questioning of who they are. And yet, sometimes it's a combination of both.<br> <br> For me personally, I knew that I've always been a creator. As you might recall, back in high school I had the opportunity to go into art or science as my focus. I chose to go the science route because I believed it would have a larger payout in the end. Things changed and I soon found out that I didn't want to be a traditional engineer. I then went to grad school for organizational leadership.<br> <br> Today, I find myself using both my artistic side as well as my technical/engineering side to do the work I'm doing today.<br> <br> In today's session, I'm talking with Laila Rahmatian about her recent career change. Like myself, she identifies with the term <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipotentiality">multipotentialite</a> and still doesn't quite know if her current career choice is where she'll always be. (That's alright, by the way. Multipotentialites are often labeled as Jack and Jills of All Trades.)<br> <br> While the talk focuses on various things around her career path from NASA to being a fitness coach, she also has other talents that we didn't discuss. Including being a great photographer.<br> <br> So, if you're having issues choosing how to make an income doing something you love, maybe it isn't so much about picking just one thing forever. Maybe it's simply time to realize that it's time to move on to the next chapter. Then you can worry about what you're going to do during that chapter. It's my hope that this discussion will help you determine if it's that time.
