Brave Steps

I have a secret for you. A real one, I haven't told anyone yet, kind of secret. I applied for a job today. A real job, overseeing a byproduct logistics of a major product used in America.

I just meet the qualifications of this job, I have no idea if anything will come of it at all. But I feel good just being brave enough to apply for it.

I am starting to feel a bit of bitterness towards my job. I am getting the guilt talk about moving out of my house to move into a horrible place, to make room for someone else, and I don't think that is fair. I am sick of feeling this pressure and guilt, I think I am just ready to move on, move into a new house and a new job.

Maintaining a great business

There is something exciting about building a business, every step of success feels like a huge victory because there was a significant change that it could all fall apart. But once you get off the group and once you become a big success, your business often becomes a well-oiled machine. Sure there can be hiccups, but overall, things go well if you stick to the routine of what you do. There isn't the reinvent factor, the risk is almost gone, just this pressure to stay at the high level that you have created for yourself. 

It makes it so the challenge is gone, and you're just maintaining this cool thing that you have created. What do you do with that? Do you accept that you are now just a well-oiled machine? Do you thrive in the environment? Do you hand it off to something and build something new from the ground up?
