What are you "bragging" about in 2014?

I don't know if it's safe to say happy new year as we are already in the second month of the year. I can just imagine some of you who are interested in knowing what I've been busy with since I last shared a post. I did not forget about you guys - I had just reached the peak of my journey. You know how the peak hour gets. 

In the previous year, we shared so much about where we were at in our lives and the big decisions we were to make - and guess what? I made mine - I quit my job. To some, perhaps it was the dumbest thing to do. For me, it was so fulfilling. 

You are probably thinking; has it not been tough? Oh hell yes. But it is a decision one had to make. 

You see my mind was made up that I was leaving the comfort zone that wasn't meaningful to me - at all. My worry was how will I still pay my bills, but I remembered having a plan is never a bad idea. I sat down and I strategised - of course knowing some things will not happen accordingly - but I made a decision of sticking to my plan.

The first phase to my plan was to go  to Queenstown and inform my family. Surprisingly, I did not receive the reaction I had had in my mind. They told me they will support me where they can - for me- this was going to be financial support. 

Fast forward to 2014. I am sitting at my desk at BlackReign Communications as head of corporate affairs and business development and seeing a much brighter light at the end of the tunnel. Public speaking has become my favourite thing to do - finding myself MCing at events. Why? Because God had a plan. 

Some will take this post as bragging, but it's not. Personally, I think we need not be modest about our little achievements. 

I must say though the hardest thing about being an entrepreneur is not having your own reliable transport. Using public transport is a nightmare but one still needs to go to places to get the job done - no excuses. 

What I love about 2014 is the fact that I had made it clear to myself that this would be my year of success. Many would ask but what is success. The word is described as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. To be honest with you I feel so successful because the second phase of my plan has been achieved. Achieving is key this year.

Let me stop now and leave you to think of your own successes. 

This post was just to say I am still around and there will be more posts coming your way. Come on, I'm sure you have something to brag about in 2014.
