$100 Startup
Good Morning World,
As I mentioned in the last post I received this book in the mail Saturday…now I am simultaneously praising and cursing Chris Guillebreau….so bad that I didn’t want read the book at all last night and picked up A Year of Living Conciously instead…the first thing I read contained this “He said he’d lowered his expectations and decided to settle for less than what he wanted”…BAM…Damn you Gay Hendricks…me and all my self help books disrupting my seemingly comfortable world.
I get mad at my current work situation…rant and rave about it and then it smooths over….temporarily…until someone randomly sends me another helpful book in the mail. I am half way through and it is shaking me up to the point that I came home and CRIED last night! My husband says, Oh those stories are not realistic to our time…when was it published?….uuuuhhh last week dude! And this shit is reality, these people are not fluffy ladies whose husbands are supporting them so they can take the chance on a new venture, these are working people who come up with brilliant ideas….I haven’t been this shook up since the last time I spent time with Amber Karnes…she is a go getter, a hustler and living the dream of working for herself…while teaching yoga and starting a farm!
But what am I to do??? I admit it, it is very scary to think of such things…and the guilt and obnoxious dialog that goes through my head…Oh you should be grateful you have a job. You are a fool, you will fall on your face and have to go crawling back…You have an obligation to your family.
But my family says things like “life is to be endured not enjoyed”….hmmmm I don’t like that. Or someone telling you that you have never worked in the real world and what would I know about having to work in it…..I hate that words like that imbed themselves into my brain….
But then the realistic voice speaks up and says.. That job is unfullfilling and offers no future for you…with a family of his own to support he will never retire and when he does this really isn’t what I want to do for the rest of your life…Plus the last 3 years you have lost benefits…what will it be this year? There is no job security and I think people are fools to think there is..a boss may be fair and a decent boss but the reality of it is they are only in it for themselves…so that being said I need to diversify my talents again and add something new into the mix….BUT WHAT…that is the million dollar f*ing question!
