Beth was a 35-year-old woman who had worked within the financial industry for over 10 years. She had been feeling frustrated and lost in her work for quite some time, but did not know what to do about it. She felt confined by the rigidity of finances and the over-emphasis on getting profits from clients and cold numbers.

Beth decided to find a new career when she and her husband moved to Southern California to accept his healthy promotion.

She engaged a career coach from TCC to figure out what she really loved to do.Through the discovery process she was surprised to recognize the many creative talents and passions she had been suppressing for so long. She discovered that she had a natural flair and a strong personal passion to design kitchens, even though she had little experience at doing so, other than helping design the kitchen at her last house.

She and her coach focused on what she really wanted to do within the kitchen design field and discovered that her most desirable position was to assist homeowners to create the kitchens to suit their personal desires and needs whether remodeling existing homes or building new kitchens.

She discovered which firms were the most recognized and successful in the field of remodeling kitchens and constructing specialty kitchens for private homes. She approached the most highly regarded of all of these firms in Southern California and told the general manager how passionate she was about kitchen design work and in working with cooks to create their most desirable kitchens.

She laid it all on the line with a very determined and genuine conviction to work in the field even though she had so little experience and even less training. Much to her delight, the manager was impressed enough to ask her to join the firm as an assistant.

The manager hired her on the spot because he could not turn down her natural creative talents, her genuine enthusiasm for helping others design kitchens, her open honesty to take the risk to ask for the position, and her experience in finances. She has since become one of the firm's most successful and popular kitchen designers, especially in the high-end neighborhoods of the Joberg.

She started this position without much concern for the money she would earn, but her dedication and deep desire to enjoy her work and get better every day quickly generated an income of six figures in only ten months. She had never had so much fun and had never generated so much income.
