"He won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally."
I’m officially unemployed, that is, I am no longer receiving a paycheck. I suppose the more optimistic view is that I’ve just become self-employed for the first time in my life. Hooray! Now that we have the happiness out of the way, let’s take a closer look at the other side of the coin: fear. I can subsist for awhile on my savings, but if I’m not producing an independent income for myself by the time that runs out, I’ll have to open resume.doc and try to find creative ways to put a positive spin on my failed foray into entrepreneurship. To make matters worse, I’ll be broke and wondering why I didn’t just get another job immediately and spend my savings on a nice car. There it is, the worst case scenario. Not really that bad in the big picture.
I have some plans to start producing that income, but I’ll save that for later. Let’s talk about this blog for a minute. There are plenty of business experts out there giving advice (much of it useful, some not), but I am not one of those. Eventually, I may be qualified to give out advice, but everyone starts somewhere. This blog is all about the start, and all of the trial-and-error, learn-as-you-go details. Hopefully I’ll build something successful, though the harsh reality is that I’m statistically more likely to fail. Everybody likes a good underdog story, right?
