What's my destiny Momma?

What's next? Seriously....what's next for me? I look back on my life and it seems like I've spent years on an odyssey trying to simply stay afloat. People who had kids when they were kids like I did and really committed to being good parents are familiar with the feeling; no education, no job skills, oh yeah....you still have to take care of and provide for a family! Good luck with that. But I did. But now I'm not in that boat. I'm well payed, no longer struggle to pay bills and have money to put toward retirement. So am I done now? No, it seems I'm on the verge of beginning my life at the whopping age of 36. In 4 year my daughter, our youngest, will turn 18 and my life will undergo a radical shift.

11 years ago my wife Dina convinced me to go to technical school since I really had fun with computers and I listened; definitely one of my best moves. A year and a half of school to take a pay jump and move into a field I genuinely enjoyed. I went to my current company, PricewaterhouseCoopers about two years later after graduating top in my class. By this point I'd already made the transition from uber-slacker to nice-guy Type A. After a year or two in the technical roles I realized I really was more interested in management and business than in the technical elements. Besides, the management side paid better! So I focused on learning how to be the manager the company wanted me to be so that they'd consider me for the position if there was an opportunity. (Yes....big secret a lot of people haven't figured out...you don't get promoted in the real world just because you're qualified. You get promoted because the company needs to promote someone, you're the right fit at that particular moment and you're qualified) There was eventually an opening, I applied for it and I got it.

I do like the work; honestly I do. The question is....do I want to do this for the rest of my life. Is managing another person's company what I want to dedicate myself? Wouldn't it be better to do what I honestly love?

So that's my current dilema. What do I really love? What am I good at? How do I turn that into a viable business.
