Hey Steve,
I got to admit. This is one of the best posts that I've read over the last couple months. I can sense the passion and urgency in your post. Nice.
I would like to add one thing to your post. There is a section where you mentioned that it took you a few years to see your results manifest into the real world. I can totally relate. I've been
building a business part time while working a full time job for the past year and it hasn't been easy. The biggest challenge has been a
lack of time.
About 4 weeks ago I was talking to a friend of mine and in that conversation I came up with an idea. My idea was to transition from my full time salary position (5 day commitment) to a new engineering firm working as a contractor (3 day commitment) while earning the same pay.
Here is how it works for me. Each week I would earn,
20 Extra Hours (no commute) + 2 Extra Free Days =
4.5 days EXTRA DAYS/wk
Since a contractor does not normally receive benefits, pension, insurance, vacation, sick days, etc then they are typically paid a higher hourly rate to compensate for the difference. This would mean I would be able to work 3 days per week as a contractor and still get paid the same as I would as a salary employee. This is little risky but who said this game of life wasn't without any risks
A long story short - Since I've started to manifest my new life as an entrenpreneur, I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This
extra time will allow me to put more energy and fire into my busines which really gets me excited!
I encourage anyone who is
working full time and interested in building their own busines to BE PATIENT with themselves. The Universe will magically provides you the answers when you are ready to receive them.
I hope this provides any budding entrepreneurs with some insight.
Cheers,
