I noticed the "how much will you make" question but not before he implied that many of your endeavors were "goofy". Whatev dude.
Anyway, your dreams are coming true.
A vision board, huh? Great idea.
I had an interview today at an upscale architectural firm in an exclusive area of town (think $20M homes) and I knocked it out of the park. As i was driving there I remember thinking, "gosh, didn't I say a few months ago, 'gee, wouldn't it be awesome to work for an up and coming architectural firm headed by a woman with incredible vision in a high end area of town??!!!' and here I am on my way to an interview for just that."
It's crazy how the universe works. My gratitude is overflowing today, too.
