SUCCESS STORY: Lori Card


Four years ago, I started on a path that I hoped would lead me to do what I love; I made the decision to seek purposeful work and not just a paycheck. Every step along the way has taught me something and reminded me what I want (and also what I don’t want) in my new career.
 

I joined the ASPIRE Success Club this year and set the Bold Goal of working at one full-time position that honors my purpose of making a difference for others. This was a challenging goal because the position I knew I wanted was a stretch for my current experience, so I had to grow professionally. 


I have gained experience by working in several part-time jobs, developing my resume and interview skills, and going back to school to start my master’s degree. Even though I had some disappointments along the way and I didn’t know when or how I would get there, I continued to work confidently on my Bold Goal with my ASPIRE network’s support, encouragement, and resources


Today I am so thrilled to say I have met my BOLD goal! 


I start my new career in November – helping students achieve their goals. I am so excited! 


And I am thankful to Dr. Christi and the ASPIRE group – I don’t think I would have had the courage to grow enough to be prepared for this opportunity without their support. And I’m already thinking about my next BOLD goal… 🙂


Congratulations Lori! You are a perfect example that you don’t have to choose between purpose or a paycheck – you can enjoy both while making your difference in the world. Readers, join us in the 2014 ASPIRE Success Club by clicking here!
