Back from the EXTENDED vacation
I’m ba-aaack!
After my days ended at NAFTA Traders, I wasn’t quite sure what the next step would be. Didn’t know where it would be, nor how it would arrive.
I dabbled with the idea of being an international and independent shoe broker. (But quickly decided that I could never be comfortable with the inconsistency.)
I focused on establishing and running a non-profit organization which I personally began. (But purely through the nature of being a non-profit, it’s not a means to pay the bills.)
I applied to a lot of jobs. I read a lot of books. I even decided to express my artistic creativity by designing visual resumes online instead of plastering recruiters inboxes with boring PDF resumes.
My mom tried to make me feel better. On the phone, she’d have me recite back to her: “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and gosh dangit, people like me!” But it didn’t really help.
So I got frustrated and focused on other ways to occupy my time: I took care of the insurance issue with Yessidey’s wrecked car. I applied to MBA programs. I handled the move to our new apartment. And I took full advantage to host a fantastic visit from my parents.
Side Note: I run on Zach-Time. It’s lightning quick, changes directions drastically, and seems to be a little accelerated. Days feel more like weeks, and results have to be immediate to feel acceptable. It had barely been 2 months, but it felt like a miserable eternity.
Fortunately, there exists a Supreme Being in Heaven who loves and watches over us. I know that he heard my prayers after I was contacted by a respected acquaintance. He owns a diamond tooling business and needs some help marketing and developing his great ideas. I’m flattered that he would consider letting me in on his projects and I’m excited to add my experience and ideas to something entrepreneurial and already successful.
So now I’m pleased to announce that not only am I back in the workforce and once again a contributing factor to society, but I get to do it in a way that I love… The creative entrepreneurial way.
No trackbacks yet.
