In his book In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy day, author Mark Batterson writes, ” God is in the business of strategically positioning us in the right place a the right time, but it's up to us to see and seize those opportunities that are all around us all the time.” Are you ready? Find out how to get prepared when opportunity knocks in this episode, plus learn what might be stopping you from seeing those opportunities.

SHOW NOTES

In this episode, we learn about Angelica, one of my Discovering Your Calling clients. Angelica was ready and took advantage of the opportunities that came her way.  Because of her willingness to venture outside of her comfort zone, and to say YES,  Angelica has four options to try out on her search for the perfect “what’s next” business.   This is what I what for you as well and you can find these opportunities if you are ready. 

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. The three main ways to be prepared when opportunity starts knocking at your door! 
2. What might be holding you back from stepping into your true calling.
3. Techniques to discover your God-given gifts and talents.

“Most of those fears we have, there's not going to be a big hole that opens up and we fall into. So some of them may happen, yes, but they're not going to be life changing. They're not going to alter who you are. What will be life changing is when you step into the right opportunities. So sometimes that fear of failure and/or fear of success just keeps us from even starting.”

Sheri Miter Serial Entrepreneur

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!

Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!

When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.

Sheri’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Futuristic, Maximizer, Self-Assurance, Command, Strategic.

Her motto is “Life is way too short, so we HAVE to enjoy the journey.”
