My quest so far...

On the quest to achieving my goals, I ponder, I wonder, what it really takes to achieve success. Trust me it’s not an easy task! It seems the more money I make, the more bills I have to pay. Seems really never enough! Hoping to get that breakthrough, then I ask myself if I would recognize a breakthrough when I see one. Remember the client I told you guys about? Yes I have started work for her, got my first $300 check. That check was gone even before I got it! Seems like the world is waiting to consume every cent I get! I was thinking of saving to buy a house, be the middle class guy J thinking about it now I’m not ready to immerse myself into more debt. I have credit card bills, student loans, in total I pay about $700 a month on servicing debt (thank God my car is paid for).

I have a retainership with this new client where I get $800 a month for helping her with claims and administration for her small home health business. Guess it’s a good start. I just need to figure out how to manage my time more effectively. I worked 18hours the previous day, I work 7 days a week (not 18 hours daily though) I’m down with a cold and feel very feverish. Sometimes I just want to give up! I thank God though, I have a job and I can pay my bills. There’s a saying “be careful what you pray for because you might just get it” yea, very true. I just got what I have been praying for, but can I manage it? I’ll need to get an average of about 10 clients on a retainership that will pay an average of $800 a month before I can comfortably say I am running my own business. Right now, I would assume I am building capacity for that. Capacity in the sense that my body is adapting to the number of hours I need to work, I’ll become more efficient because I’ll be doing the same thing repeatedly and learn easier ways to manage the work load. 

I am not complaining, I am up for this challenge. I would look back and smile when I read this post a year from now. I continue to remain positive, learn from my mistakes, and surround myself with people who would encourage me. I want to believe I am on the path to success. Some of you are thinking about how this impacts my personal life. That’s another story for another blog :)

I’m at work this morning and it is 8.24am 09/23/2014. Wish you all a wonderful week ahead..
