About 6 weeks ago, I was approached by the owner of a company who offered me the opportunity to run his business. I met with the owner on several occasions and after two weeks of consideration, I accepted the offer.
Today I resigned from my job and will be leaving the company that I have been with for seven years and I must admit that my decision to leave was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever made. However, the offer that was made to me was too good to pass by.
I have learnt during my working life that money is not the most important factor in a job, job satisfaction needs to be there too. My current job pays well and I am well thought of by my employers. I was content to serve the remainder of my working life with the company. However, I did feel that I had reached the highest position that I could and to be honest, I felt like I was just a cog in a wheel.
I was not actively seeking new employment and it was out of the blue that I received a telephone call from a complete stranger offering me a fantastic opportunity to further my career.My new boss to be, has matched my current earnings and has asked me to find a car of my choice to get me to and from work and he will purchase it !! Although this is a very attractive package, this was not that led me to make my difficult decision.
I will be in total command of the operational part of the business and although my new company is not as big as the one that I am leaving, I have been "head hunted" to develop and expand the company. My desire to build the company and my goal for personal achievement is the real reason for me taking up the offer.
Sorry to ramble on, but I just wanted to share my good news with as many of my friends as possible as I am so pleased with myself right now
