Flicking through the local paper in my lunch break one day, I saw my dream job advertised.
I was a Finance Officer at a social housing company, raising invoices and reconciling housing benefit and rent payments.
The role being advertised was on the senior management team – Group Accounts Manager for a villa tour operator and retail travel agency company – one level down from the MD.
It was December 1999, and I had been studying AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) for 3 years. I still had one exam left to pass.
I wasn’t even fully qualified AAT yet.
It was unlikely I’d get the job due to the above, but my intuition was guiding me to apply.
I’ve always trusted that when something is a ‘full body yes’, it is the right thing for me to do, right now.
Even though usually it doesn’t make logical sense at the time.
I remember writing that application. As is the case when you take aligned action, the application wrote itself.
One minute the screen was blank and the next the letter was written. The words flowed through me. It was an ease-y letter to write.
Within a few days, I was sitting in an office with the MD and Head of HR, being interviewed for the role.
I remember leaving that interview with a feeling – an inner-sense – that I might actually get this job!
A few days later, the call I’ve been waiting for came in.
“We’ve given the job to someone else who is more experienced…”
“BUT… can you come back in? The MD and I have been talking and we have an idea we’d like to run past you.”
Their idea… they had created a DEPUTY Accounts Manager role for me.
Would I be interested in that instead?
I’d have the opportunity to learn from the new manager, and get ‘on the job’ experience, with a view to developing my role as I grew into it.
Ermmm… let me think about that for a minute – do I want a role that is pretty-much my dream job, that gives me a pay-rise to get more experience, AND work in the travel industry with all the benefits that come with that?
YES!
But the story doesn’t end there.
6 months later, the new manager wasn’t working out.
He left.
I replaced him!
The role I’d originally applied for was mine.
That was the beginning of the most surreal 3 years of my life.
The learnings, the experience, the holidays, the friends, still so valuable to me today.
And yet another reminder of why your inner-guidance is such a valuable sat-nav to follow.
No matter how illogical or scary it might be to take action when your soul is giving you YES signals, it’s safe to trust that it’s the right way forward for you.
Tuning into your inner and universal guidance that gives you the ability to serve your clients at your highest level and get paid well for the value you bring to the marketplace is something that runs through the core of my work with clients.
Seeing my clients relish the results that come from their taking aligned action is magical.
Watching them glowing in the energy of doing their most-enjoyable work, which means their clients love the experience and get great results is amazing.
And sharing in their celebrations when side effect of their operating from flow means they’re attracting their dream clients and generating more sales than ever before in a way that feels ease-y.
So, listen, if you’re being guided to speak to me about how you can run your business from alignment, make a bigger difference, and generate paying clients into your online programs and services from Facebook consistently…
… then let’s talk.
