Intuition Will Guide You Home

One of my least favorite interview questions is “Where do you see yourself in five years?” I know what they really want you to say is that you’ll be happily plugging away at their place of employment and couldn’t ever imagine leaving. But that just isn’t me. The reason I named my freelance agency Lisa K. Adams Creative is because I never know what I’ll do next. I’ve always been open to inspiration and following those leads wherever they take me. And they usually take me far past what my mind would imagine for myself in five years.

Unexpected Delays

Let’s rewind five years just to really bring this home. In early 2020 the resort I was doing marketing for closed their doors and I was laid off. I dreamed of taking a cross-country trip in my spare time, but quickly reoriented to a solitary world as I settled into the pandemic hundreds of miles away from my family and friends. Usually, unexpected delays are an indicator that something is not right for you.

Staring at the same walls day in and day out, I was inspired to start collecting more antique art, then I reupholstered a chair, then I was inspired to create a beautiful home office space. With all the time in the world on my hands, I participated in an online Pampered Chef party, reading and commenting on nearly every single post. A thought popped into my head that I could do this and by June of 2020 I was diving into becoming an Independent Pampered Chef Consultant, which led me to start creating cooking and mixology videos at home in my kitchen. I was having the time of my life!
