Dave,
Here are a few suggestions, for what they are worth, with the understanding that I am just being
candid in my response.
1. Define your plan to address your "temporary" financial situation. Expect 1 month for say each $10,000 of
yearly income as a time line.
2. Define what you want to do both short and long term work wise. The first step to achieving any goal is to envision it. Remember that you can have anything you want but when you decide you must pay for it.
This may be the hardest mental work you ever did my friend. It includes analyzing skill sets and the application of them to current manufacturing needs.Prioritizing tasks to be done, and there are a lot of them that will be generated,
from the thinking.
Now go take of yourself and no one else. You are not worth anything to anybody if you are not at peace.
Exercise ( just a nice daily walk will do), eat healthy, don't drink ( you need a clear mind), be at peace with your master ( he is always with you). Work hard on #2, relax / rest , and by all means do something that gives you enjoyment.
I just have to say a few things:
- You will progress or fade away. So you build on any skill set you currently have. You will be learning forever
no matter what profession / work one is in. If not your fading away!
- Understand that YOU have a buisness and that is simply to make money. Matters not if you work for someone else.
Change your thinking about work is.
- Consider investing in your buisness, namely you, ie; part of the plan may be to take a course to get certified in welding
- Get used to the idea that you will need to find a job over and over again. That is the dynamic times we live in.
So at any time for the buisness have a fall back plan in place. You will work again and it could be more rewarding
than before. Nothing is ever perfect, pay is great-job sucks, job is great- pay sucks, just the way it is.
You may not realise it, but this may be the greatest opportunity you ever had........since for the first time in a long time
YOU are taking control of your buisness! Allow no time for pitty parties, always think positive, plan and implement,
now go do what needs to be done!
FWIW,
RICH
