I'm Back....Again

So. After a long (and eventful) two months off, a lot has changed in my life. I have started a new job to make ends meet (waiting tables) and have two waiting in the wings that will hopefully provide the opportunities I am looking for. Unfortunately, as with all things, no plan survives its own implementation. Things are taking slower to develop than I had hoped, partially because of me, and partially because of the situation.

I am slowly trying to instill the self-discipline in myself it will take to make this work. The path of least resistance is very tempting, but it will take me no place I want to be. Its easy to get home from work, do some reading, play some video games, go to sleep, and sleep in the next day, only to repeat the process. What that will lead to is wasted time in a dead end job that will do nothing to further what I want to accomplish. The time has come for me to force the change upon myself. I have to take the little time I have, and apply it to the things I need to devote it to. Only then will I get where I want to be.

The best and worst part of starting your own business is that you are your own boss. In my case, I am seeing the worst of it right now, as I try to motivate myself to do all the legwork required to get this started. It doesn't help that my two associates have things keeping them busy in their own lives, so they are ok with this going on the back burner for now. If this moves forward now, it moves forward because of me. Hopefully my schedule won't be as strenuous next week at the restaurant, also it will be less so once I have days off to coach (a 3 hour commitment instead of 9, like the restaurant), and I will be able to devote time to both leisure and working on the business plan of LP. Until then though, leisure needs to take a back seat. Let's hope I can do it.


Coming next: I'll write about what went on the last two months, and why I was lazy about doing this. There may even be some introspection involved.
