In early adulthood, I wanted so badly to be a real estate agent. Why?

Because they got to drive around in their cool cars all day and be their own bosses.

Silly, I know, but I followed my dream and got licensed, only to later discover that I just wasnā€™t passionate about real estate and a cool car just meant a fat-ass car payment.

I got closer to finding my calling when I started working in real estate management and then finally scored the jackpot several years later when I left corporate America and found my calling in coaching and training real estate professionals and other business owners.

My guest on this weekā€™s episode of Productivity Straight Talk had a similar circuitous route to find her calling but it wasnā€™t cool cars that first made Janelle McNeal take an interest in her field. It was fashion. When Janelle was young, one of her friends always had the best clothes so Janelle asked what her dad did for work, knowing her mom stayed at home. The answer? Psychiatrist.

So, Janelle started out on her path to become a psychiatrist so she could afford the best clothes, too. Long story short, organic chemistry in college quickly changed Janelleā€™s dream of going to med school and she became a licensed psychologist instead.

It was the right move as Janelle is incredibly passionate about the work she does in psychology now. As the Owner & Director of True North Counseling & Development, Janelle helps women entrepreneurs and professionals navigate perfectionism, depression, anxiety, procrastination, and work-life balance, and ultimately helps them achieve their ā€œunachievableā€ goals and dreams.

Tune in to this entrepreneurial case study in which we dive into how Janelle runs her business staying true to her tagline, ā€˜Feeling better is just the beginningā€™ to ensure people thrive as a result of their experiences at True North, and discuss how you can get the help you need to succeed in business.

Oh, and in case you were wondering,  Janelle got that fabulous wardrobe she dreamed of, too!
