I too have really hit the ground running since I've been home. This has been somewhat easy to do, as I find myself not being able to sleep more than a couple of hours at a time, due to ideas and solutions that fill my head.
I sat with a friend the other night a did a vision board, and came to the realization that what motivated me is freedom and the challenge of bringing an idea to life. Her board was full of tangible items: yellow corvette, summer home, etc. None of that moves me- which lead to a spiral of self-doubt, "is it problematic that I am driven to create profitable businesses, when the actual profit doesn't motivate me? How driven am I really? I could have freedom now, but would I have the lifestyle that I want (or that my husband wants)?"
Long story short, I decided that my "bucket list" is what really motivates me. I have decided to dedicate myself to our website idea, as well as to fulfilling my bucket list. So far, I have signed up to teach English/reading to adults a couple of hours a week, and my brother and I are planning that road trip.
The biggest milestone has been that I emailed my resignation today. I have so much adreneline pumping through me I could probably flip over a car. The last day of my job will be the first day of my life, and I can't wait.
