Yes, times are pretty hard right now. Whereby there are not many people around here due to the quiet season. So basically I need to work extra time during these quiet season. As expenses need to be paid, and Esther is pretty much growing up very quickly and need more attention, less things can get to be done. But never the less, God is good and we know He will provide and see us through any season.
Running a business is not an easy thing to do, especially during these quiet times. And especially during this time, how I wish I was working for someone else. But I guess, if I were working for someone else then I would pretty much wish I was running my own business. Kinda complicated isn’t it with life. Haha, how I wish for this, how I wish for that. But I guess that’s just human. If let say I were to work for people, and then during that time business is good but the problem is that my salary would probably still be the same. But if business is quiet, then I know at the end of the month I will still be safe. But I guess running your own business is pretty much like if you work harder at it, the more you will gain.
And for the past few months, I’ve honestly been kinda slack about it as whereby I’m currently running the shop alone at the moment. And had to stop ebaying for a while due to the limitation that I’m currently facing. With Deluxe taking care of Esther, I’m pretty much handicapped at the moment. By the time I close the shop, I’m already kinda tired and don’t feel like working extra hours again. And I haven’t been teaching for quite some time already, and another source of income pretty much got cut off. So what I plan to do about it?
Instead of sitting around and don’t do anything, I’m going to go back into eBay, and also other sources. Considering the fact that it will tough, despite the fact that I managed to close a deal which will hopefully bring in more prospect in the future. So will try to work everything out first on the store, before starting that project. It’s going to be a tough battle, but I guess everyone needs to start somewhere.
And this site has been approved for paid per post, since last December. And I’m still currently contemplating on posting ads here. No doubt that it might do me some good, but again if I were to start doing that prolly the rank would dropped to 0 like my previous blog. Lol. As I went through the lists of opportunities, the offer wasn’t as interesting as before. But I’ll see how it goes, and probably would look for a suitable template for it. If not I guess I would just need to stick to this, and will work out on how for you to read this blog.
Guess being the head of the house has it’s own struggles, but then again it would be for the best. Having said that, if it’s not for both Deluxe and Esther, I will probably have given up on the fight. But my ultimate goal for 2009 onwards is to provide a better living for them. No doubt we’re doing fine now, but one should not be too complacent and not prepare for the future. So before Esther goes to college, or another baby decided to come along after a few years down the road. I want to be ready for it by then, and by the time Esther can stand on her own hopefully by then, we’re already financial free. It won’t be easy, but I know it will be worth it. As I’ve pretty much draw up a plan on what I need to do already last night, I guess it’s only a matter of time before I execute it. And may God help me see through this once more.
By the way this kid is really good. Was looking for the song “Living On A Prayer”, and this fella showed up. You guys have a nice day.
