A day of reckoning

Tomorrow we go and see an office space. Then we have to make a decision to make between having a home, virtual or physical office. Actually, I think whatever we choose it is going to be a hybrid. I have my reasons for wanting a physical office, including safety, but I am still weary about having enough clients to sustain an additional monthly expense. You must realize its more than just an office , it's daycare, it's gas and time away from the kids. The transition is not easy and the guilt is very heavy. The pressure to succeed is on full blast. I now have to admit that a completely virtual office which was the initial grand catalyst for my career change, may not work and it's time to adjust. My ego is taking a blow. It's times like this that you need a mega-awesome support system. With your mega-awesome support system you know that even though you may have made a bad decision, you are better than your last mistake. They will help you up, dust you off and get you moving again. So, even though I am putting my family in debt to fulfill my dream of entrepreneurship, I know and they know it's not a wasted effort and one day we will look back and be proud we did. Now, what does one wear when they go office shopping?

Come to think about it

I am still in the process of moving and starting my own practice. I have not forgotten about this blog or any of my social media addictions. I just have to pack move to the mainland and chase a two-year old while holding a 7 month-old. It’s a lot but it does bring us to one very important WitKey: perseverance. Every time you think that there is too much on your shoulders; put it down. I know you are thinking where in the heck I am going to put my kids? Well find someone who will watch them for about an hour and shut the brain down. Don't be afraid. I can say this because I am in a new city (that used to be my old city) and I have to find new people to trust. I am currently staying with my mother in a 55 and over community and I have two weeks left before the senior patrol notices the Tyco truck on the lawn and breaks down the door to drag us out. I have learned a lot about foreclosure and auctions and the best lesson is that none of that helps you without money. I am also learning a lot about having a home office while being a stay at home mom... As soon as I can get the crayon off my pleadings and the grape jelly off my kids there will be an entry on that as well so stay tuned. I promise we'll be right back.
