What I have learned so far in B183 is that I
ought to do what I love, and follow that passion for what I love rather than
money. My problem with this is that I don’t want to be poor forever. I realize that it’s ok to fail (cheaply), but
I’m to a point where money is a big deal to me.
I have about $20,000 in school loans and only a 2-year degree to show
for it. I want to be able to pay off my
debts and live debt free.
Money and the lack of it, stresses me
out. I have a business of my own, and I
want to get rid of it. I’m not that
passionate about it, but it has been very exciting as it has grown over the
years. I have the passion for starting
and growing a company, but get very complacent.
I’ve never gotten wealthy from this business and often feel like a slave
to it at times, and I don’t get much joy from it.
My goal is to sell off my business and start
something else, although I have no clue what yet. I have a difficult time recognizing things
that give me joy that I can make a living from.
I hope to learn more about how to manage, create, and fund a business in
the coming year or 2 which I will be attending school. I want to get my degree so that I may have
other opportunities.
I have learned from the reading to not take classes that are easy. That's what I've been doing for the past 12 years off and on, and I have just been spinning my wheels. I admit that I am completely overwhelmed by school and it's only the third day! Normally I would have dropped a class or two, but I like what the Hero's Journey is all about; overcoming obstacles. I have a goal to graduate in 2018. Everything is written down, classes are planned out. I am going to achieve this goal.
