Haakon offered me a job; which I politely decline last week...after much consideration :) Thank You GOD! I am a very blessed person. I know that. I just feel that I don't deserve it sometimes. The reason that people are still offering me jobs in this retail trade is because I have built up the work experiences, the skills, the creativity, the tricks, the traits, the attitude, the network - which I specializes and have expertise in. I don't have to be train anymore. I come in, I just have to deliver the figures, I just have to perform.But what I really want is that I want to quit the retail industry but the question is, if I do...what do I do next? What are my options? What else can I do? Money still plays a very important role as I'm still not financial independent yet :) If I do start all over again, with a lower pay, but minus the stress, the burden, the weight - can I? I want to quit because I am exhausted. I have no more energy left. I work non-stop to build up my portfolio since 2005. I am very tired to answer for sales, margin, stock days, fees, action plans, operational issues on an everyday basis. I don't want these kind of KPIs anymore. I just want to do filing, paperwork and administrative tasks :) Is this a temporary phase or a long term plan?
What also really scares me is my very own fear of taking the first step to change things. I think I was already feeling that for some time, that I really wanted to move on and do something different, but I didn't know what yet, and was scared to take the next step.
And that is the problem isn't it?
Not knowing exactly what you want to do, and the fear of taking that step because it's one into the unknown. My life on earth is so short! What am I doing?!
All these time, I keep telling people to do things as if it's going to be their last year, and I'm not doing it myself. Nonetheless, I am still very keen with the idea of a career break so I can go and figure this thing out :)
I think I've been very fortunate in my past jobs that I've had, where the people I work with are some of the best in the retail industry. This has been no different with The French, and dare I say it, at a higher level altogether.
I'm constantly amazed at how Iron Butterfly & Rufus manages to pull together such a diverse & brilliant team of creative, efficient & genuine individuals. To see a project you have in mind actually worked out and to receive such amazing response is mind-blowing. It really showed me that anything is possible when you put your mind and heart into it. I learned so much from the team in the time I've been here. Invaluable and great stuff I wouldn't have known if I'd never joined them!
I have experienced it all...but there is one thing that I have never experience yet...which is a job promotion...that will be my greatest acheivement ever if I do get one. I keep on increasing my pay cheque by job-hopping around but for once, I would also like to know where I stand and to know how good I really am. Yeah; shameless self promotion :)

omg you got spammed by someone!
hey ya totally agree it's so hard to change. like you i want to quit my job but because of the money and security guarantee i find that i can't quit until i find something else.
no point taking a new job if you get paid less, unless of course the less pay equates to less stress. in the end it's what we aim for.
ya! hope you get the promotion =D i think that's probably the best award yet the recognition of all the work you've done in the past, and they respect you and know you can manage more to give you the responsibility.
i think i will try to get a job in an area i like, maybe research or libraries or a museum or something. they're pretty hard to come by here though =( too small a country.
