Random thoughts
Been feeling quite anxious latley and have noticed the anxeity increases to dispropornalate levels at the slightest hints of bad news.
Like next week, the bookings are low in both clinics, this come just after we invested a ton of money into building clinic nr2. However I realised today its easter next week. Sales in the service sector drop quite alot during this time.
This made me think why I react the way I do and how to solve the stress and get to the bottom of this.
According to my partner who do the economics, we should have about 90-100k in liquidity between all the companies, so its not that. I realised this reaction would come regardless of liquidity. Ponderd a bit deeper and I think I have found the cause and solution.
Growing up, I was raised by a single mother and we were dirt poor. Every day was a struggle. It was not fun.
Now the subconsious is probably reminding of that time and it tells me I dont want to go back. Especially that I have a small family to provide for.
So the risk of bankrupcy is always there and a reminder that business is fickle and one mistake can take everything away (like was about to happen autumn last year. This was on us and we made some bad mistakes. We have learned from it).
Solution: Finish medschool. Get a profession. If something were to happen, can always work for someone else. Great plan B.
Now hopefully, I dont have to work 8h a day and study like I did before but can have the business ticking every year which will let me pay my bills. Sure, the Porsche driving days are over and will take a while longer to materialise again but with this, I can have the cake and eat it too because I think I will only work 4-5 hours/week now with the businesses.
If the business is taking off again like really off, I pause a semester to expand. No need to rush.
I read an article from Harward that says a healthy expansion should be 10-25%/year. So no need to stress. Let things mature, build a good liquidity foundation to further expand upon. Limit stress and get a profession.
