I am currently a Project Manager. I have been other things, a consultant, retail executive, a motivational speaker, and more besides.
As a project manager, we record “lessons learned” so we might avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Using that principle, I am sharing some of my “lessons learned,” to help you or someone you know. Some you might have read before; some might be new. Please add your own in the comments.
Moving out on your own is very exciting and can be a big step forward, but there will be things that you do not anticipate. Do not feel bad if you encounter some or all of these.

Please share this with anyone who has just moved out on their own or away from home. I would also love to hear your stories as well.
