I remember my first bartending shift.
It was at the , on a Black Friday, notoriously one of the busier days in any restaurant.
I had plenty of waitressing experience and could make a few drinks here and there, but I got thrown to the wolves, sink or swim.
I seriously made about more Bloody Mary’s that day than I can even count.
It was intense, overwhelming, and in some sick way only a bartender can understand, fun.
I fell in love with bartending. I loved talking to people, listening to their stories and being a positive part of their day. I got to work along side my best friends, and of course, I loved the cash.
It was all so much fun, until it wasn’t.
Most of my co-workers and besties moved on to start their “real” careers.
I was running out of energy dealing with drunk people, and I started feeling like an underpaid psychiatrist some days.
Just like every other every job I’ve ever had, I started to wonder what was next.
I got restless.
I craved more.
I didn’t want do this forever.
Something just wasn’t aligning anymore.
Already far along on my health and wellness journey, I found myself talking to my customers about their diet and nutrition,
while I poured them their favorite beer and shot.
There had to be some other way I could be making a positive impact in peoples lives and make a good living, that didn't include serving deep fried food and Mai Tais.
I realized my deeper passion was to work for myself.
I found a business model that not only promotes a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle, but also one that gives me a chance to show other intelligent and hard working service industry workers, that there is another way.
This opportunity can create the Freedom lifestyle we all crave, with the income to match.
It won’t happen overnight, it takes time, determination, a hell of a lot of mindset work, but the payoff is better than any tip I’ve ever received.
If you want to learn more about what I’m doing, how I’m creating a future that doesn’t involve slinging cocktails for cash, comment a🍻below so we can chat.
