30 to 30

I don’t have too many readers of my blogs, let alone really any followers.  So, I’m always skeptical about writing posts like this.  I’ve been having a major “what am I doing with my life” moment.  I don’t want to come off as a complainer or unfocused, but as I see so many successful entrepreneurs, I’m starting to wonder, what am I doing wrong, why haven’t I been able to find my niche?  I’m hopeful that I’m not the only one that has these mini life crises.  Thoughts of, I’m in the wrong industry, I wish I loved my job, maybe I should get my MBA, maybe I should look into purchasing a sewing machine, maybe I should open an etsy store,  maybe I should just be more focused...  I just want to be real here with you all and look for some solidarity… surely someone must feel this way, sometimes.

With 30 not too far away, 16 months to be exact.  I would love to set some goals to achieve by the time I’m 30.  We’ll call it 30 to 30.
