Another important factor is going to be money. One of the sacrifices I've had to make is working on Saturday and Sunday from the hours of 6am-12pm. This means sometimes working seven days a week. I started this shift in September and will work every weekend right through till December. I am not an early bird, never have been and doubt I will be until the children come lol. Do I enjoy getting out of bed early particularly on the weekend....NO! However I have to stay focused and remember exactly why I'm doing this. These extra shifts will enable me to start saving some serious money as I'm going to need every penny. After doing a brainstorm with a friend of mine I'll need to save at least £400 a month if I plan to go next August whoo! Nothing is impossible but it will be a challenge as I have the usual outgoings to pay rent, bills, transport, food etc. No more shoes for me (get the violins out)
Roots "Sacrifice" song comes to mind- "I tell you one lesson I learned, If you want to reach something in life, You ain't gonna get it unless, You give a little bit of sacrifice"
It's s funny how you always get challenged in your weakest areas. When I worked in New York last year I met some people who are on Diddy's level they DON'T sleep and if I’m serious abut making an impression I'm going to have to be the first one in and the last one out. The media in the states is a whole different ball game and whilst there are more opportunities competition is a lot fiercer. The saying be careful what you ask for comes to mind as visiting America for a few weeks is all fun and dandy but to work there. I’ll have to be tenacious, confident, consistent, hungry and adopt a can do attitude to everything.
