Ok I am new here. I don't want to be all boohoo and cramp the style here. I have been reading the success and failures stories. I know that failure comes along with it. I am unemployed right now have been for about two months and we need the second income. I really don't know what to do. I once ran a business in the area and miss running a business.
I am following through the motions like anyone else would but not getting too many bites. I am really thinking now would be the time that I probably will have to start a new business to survive. I am draining resources quickly just trying to keep the ship on course. We are bleeding badly. Cut expenses but our debts (school loans) are a bear. So that is where I am. I have been really digging into myself and I think that is distracting me from growing in that fastlane type of way. I have a stronger belief in myself than I did 5 years ago but what mental techniques have you used to clear your mind of the self destructive or distracting.
It is easy to sit in the fishbowl and see just what is around the fishbowl.$ I live in Buffalo, New york, a dying city so I am thinking my only real route around this area would be to do something online or develop products to market. I cannot seem to find a passion or project yet that I can produce here to make a living. I have not found anything employment wise that I would give my heart and soul for. My wife seems to want to stay and she has a good paying job for this area but it is not enough for us to run the show.
I don't mean to ramble but any advice would be great.
