A New Beginning

Just wanted to put down what it feels like to be on the edge or precipice of something new and exciting. For the past 27 years, I have tried to find fulfillment in my life thru the vocation of
painting for a living and have managed to make a living without making a lot of money. Loved the selling of myself side of the business and never went without work, throughout most of those years and there were times when work was plenty hard to come by. ALways had a place to go.
God provided well. But something was missing and that was the person to person experience that direct sales/services brings.
Over the past few years, here in Texas especially, the contracting landscape has gone thru
some major changes and has let me to begin considering the possibility of moving back into a more people centric business where more of my personality can be used to help, teach, encourage people to be all they can be, whatever calling they may have. It has been hard
watching friends of mine in the business who have retired to other things or moved or just sort
of dropped out of sight. Some squeezed out because of competition, some just got tired of the
100 degree days in the summer and the unpredictable weather in the fall and spring seasons.
A lot of what construction looked like in the early 80's has changed significantly over the years and most of it not for the better.

After much time and money spent on researching where to go and what to do next with my
life, it seems to me to be pretty much a no brainer to get into the internet. So many opportunities exist to build residual income with fantastic companies. Part of what I would like to do on this blog is just to relate some of my highs and lows of growing into this business.
I feel like a kid again with a new toy, not really sure what it can do let alone what it will do.
You know you sit at your computer and wonder, "how really alone am I." Knowing all the time
that there is so much help available, you could drown in the sea of information without even
trying. That is part of the problem. Information overload. To the nth degree. How do you plow thru all the s t u f f out there to find the real gems.

PLus, just when you think that something is THE thing, the net changes what it looks like and where it's going. Fascinating! Think I will leave it here for now and try to catch up a little further over the weekend. It has been a long week.

PSPulling for the Mavs to get at least one win tom
over the Nugs.
