Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Lydia was a total people pleaser. She did what she told to do in life. She had all the things that most people want but because this was not her she ended up losing her identity to her corporate job.
She had no clue who she really was because she was too busy pleasing others by having a 6 figure job, the car, the house and the white picket fences. Lydia knew deep inside that this is was not her and she was unhappy.
The “AHA” Moment
Lydia was running two companies at the same time, one she like doing but other LOVED doing which is her current company. She knew that if she followed heart and starting doing the things she loved in her business it would pay off.
Screw the Cubicle was the company she truly believed would work for her because she put all of her heart, genius and effort into it which is now a success.
Her notion of success used to be that it had to be hard and painful versus having an easy flow and fun to do. She realized that with her 2nd company that you can have fun building a business.
Lydia trusted her gut and instincts that pursuing to earn an income through her blog Screw the Cubicle can work for her and it did.
Another AHA moment for Lydia was the pain of going back to corporate life was worse than being in the hole 3 times from her business. She knew she had what it takes to live life on her own terms and not the terms of others.
She believed in herself so much that she would always find a way to make it back to the top because it was even more painful to go back to a job.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Lydia is now enjoying the fruits of her labor by being able to travel the world while building a business at the same time. That’s the beauty of an online business.
She also resides now in Bali, Indonesia.
