January 25, 2022 A Shift in the Tides Two years ago, if you asked me where I would have seen myself in 2022, I don’t know what I would have said. I probably would have laughed a little, joked about owning some business, and said that I definitely wouldn’t be working as much as I was at the time. Two years ago, I was finally out of my grocery store job, into an office, and I thought I had it made. But I was working long hours, working a side hustle that was going nowhere fast, and just engaged. Now I’m married, living in a different state, and working more, but the catch is that I work for myself. So, in essence, half of the time, the work is just me flexing my brain, learning something, and conversing with one of the many dozen of clients I handle regularly. Life looks completely different in 2022 than it did in 2020, not just for work and personal reasons, as the tides have shifted for us all.
