Michelle Hill is an excited escapee who happens to love football. She was in Business Development for a courier company and was downsized in February 2009; actually, this was the third time she had been downsized in nine years. ” While I was working in the extremely toxic environment, I was already planning my escape from Alcatraz. I have been escaping ever since.
Such was the genesis of Michelle’s copyrighting business Winning Proof. She worked feverishly trying to get her copywriting business off the ground and into a self-sustaining mode.
While she thinks a sustainable business is completely doable”…so the six-figure guru’s say…my checkbook says otherwise.” Michelle has her business weekly/monthly/yearly goals on her bathroom mirror and she takes action steps toward those goals every day. She puts her 25 years of writing experience to good use specializing in sports and fitness writing. She now works with pro athletes and fitness professionals to increase their success score by putting their best words in forward motion.
Do what you want
For Michelle, escaping the 9 to 5 is about doing what she wants when she wants. Whether it is cooking 5-star meals, power walking, watching football, or working, it needs to fit into her life and personal goals. “I don’t want to work in an environment where someone else plans my day for me; when to eat, when to leave, and what I can/can’t do on my computer.” Having three small motivators in the form of grandchildren makes getting her game face on all the more rewarding. Her escape might be about what is right for Michelle, but she always has the team in mind.
