Expert: Joyce Schwarz - 10/3/2009

Question
hello my life is going in a very strange direction. i am a commerce graduate from india . i was doing wholesale trading business in men's garments . but due to a lot of problems which also includes financial loss i had to close the business down end of 2007. since then i am doing nothing and feeling completedly lost in life. i am 30 yrs old now and not married and dont have any boyfriends also. i am very ambitious and not scared of hard work but am not very fond of studing.i beleive that i can make it really big in life as i was the only girl in my business.but now everything is looking so confusing. please help me .

Answer
Well, we all go through this at some time or another and for some reason it seems that some women who "spark" early and have great 20's get a full-stop about 30-32 -- maybe it's another rite of passage. I'd suggest you get a J.O.B -- just only a bridge to where you're going or at the very least get out of the hours and start doing some volunteer work with the poor or using your business degree to help others less fortunate than you. If you have money this may be the ideal time to travel. I don't see any reason you have to go back to school. You may also want to consider some work with a not for profit or charity organization to gove back to the community too. Another thing you can consider is going to a Women Entrepreneur group and networking -- see if you can help someone else with their business for awhile and perhaps learn skills that will help you atart another business. men do this all the time- they don't worry if one business fails or doesn't work out -- they just move on. But from the 'feeling lost in life" title I'm getting the idea that you also need a stronger support group of family and friends and business colleagues. What happened to your relationship with all the guys you went to University with for commerce? I found this on women entrepreneur groups - you did not say what city in India you are in -- JORDAN: INDIAN BUSINESSWOMEN DELEGATION AND JORDANIAN COMMERCE ..."Although there are probably thousands of Indian women entrepreneurs out there. ... Committee of the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Indian Chamber of Commerce ...

Also consider doing some personal development and spiritual work so that even when you are 'in-between' projects or work you won't feel lost in life -- that's a big statement to make and indicates that you don't have enough support. 30 is young and look at the role women continue to play even as CEO's in India-- great career/life ahead of you.

Take a look at the free chapter of my book THE VISIN BOARD: the secret to an extraordinary life at http://tinyurl.com/visionboardamazon and consider buying the book too -- Amazon, UK has it too. Because it is obvioulsy time to 'Re-vision" your life! Good luck js.
