It's easy to label yourself as a particular person.
Trouble is - it then restricts your way of thinking. For example, this week, I have taken on roles such as:
- project manager,
- writer,
- desktop publisher,
- coach,
- techy,
- trainer,
- speaker,
- copywriter,
- web designer (of sorts),
- (semi-)programmer,
- code installer.
And...don't forget father, husband, and tidy-upper!
In my old life I just worked in a bank. That's all I did, and that's all I told people - whether I did other stuff in the evenings or weekends.
You could argue that I am doing too many different things to make the best of the ones I'm good at.
Well, my argument to that is that YOU need to take on varied roles like these in order to:
1) Help yourself grow
2) Help yourself find out the stuff that you don't like doing
Plus...it will constantly remind you that you are 'bigger' than just the 'job' you do.
In my case, guess why I find it so difficult to explain what I do for a living when people ask me?
