My work as a public school teacher has been wearing on me this year.
(Insert boring whiny list about principal, union stuff, time management, etc. You know the drill.)
Because of this, I set my mind every Monday toward the task of becoming self-employed. I decide what weekly task will help me get there, and I try to complete that one task. This morning, having one minute before my day starts to read a blog, I opened up my Google reader, and began.
And I couldn't do it.
I couldn't read about all these entrepreneurs and other self-employed individuals and their ideas for MY business. I couldn't do it. It's just too painful. Everything is becoming overwhelming, very quickly.
It's hard to explain--but I just couldn't read blogs today.
Have you escaped a job or dissolved a business that was hindering you?

Somtimes it's hard to read about what others are doing that your'e not, but keep at it. Find a blog you enjoy that makes you smile! You'll get there!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have. And there are those painful moments but there are also lots of grace notes to be found in being self-employed. I'm a therapist and a writer. I've always paddled my own canoe and I go many places that are scary and many more that are beautiful. I'm sending you good energy for what you are trying to do!Jan Morrison
ReplyDeleteI always knew when it was time to leave a particular job. No matter how much money I was making, I always left. I wasn't doing anyone any good by continuing when I was so disgusted being there. I had my first busines at the age of 25. I also had a great job, too. I am 43 and currently on my 5th business. A few of them I knew pretty quickly they wouldn't work, so I didn't spend a lot of money and waste a lot of time. When it comes to businesses, I don't mind when they fail and I have to move on to another one. They say 9 out of 10 businesses fail. I get excited because the closer I get to 9 of them failing, the closer I get to that one really successful one. Stay postitive, but keep moving forward. You will feel better in the end.
ReplyDeleteI escaped a job that took me away from my family, and thus began Raige Creations. Now it wasn't as easy as that sounded, but still I don't regret it a single, broke, day. The stresses are tough, but take it step by step, and soon you will find you have reached the top of the stairs.
