I worked for many years in a technical job with a large telecommunications company. I was fortunate to be able leave the company with an early retirement option. What a great feeling of freedom and yet I did not know what was next. I could do anything, but had to figure out what to do. Luckily my sister is a career coach and she helped me see that I had to create a viable plan for the next phase of my life. I'm so glad I did. I decided to make natural soaps and spa bath products.
