HEY YOU, LISTEN UP, SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE

No more will I be able to drag myself out of bed day after day to go to a job where who I am and what matters to me is dwarfed by the GIANT EGOS of those who equate self worth with their ability to make life miserable for others.  You know the type that when you deal with them you are left void of feeling appreciated or respected.  Oh and then there is the harsh reality of knowing that at any given time these same type of individuals can fire you because they don't like the way you blink my eyes, or the way you wear your hair. 

I have come to the conclusion in order to restore and maintain optimal health for myself I must get out.  I can no longer live a rat in the wheel existence.  I have to find ways to create multiple streams of income.  I have to figure out a way to get paid for things I'm good at and love doing.  I have to take charge of the life I'm living.

Lately I've noticed that just thinking about going to work makes me physically ill.  The drudgery of another day where I have to conjure up the will, the desire, to jump start myself after being mentally drained from the previous day makes me literally sick.  How can I continue facing tomorrow that bear resemblance to yesterdays and today.  Living in such a way lead many to participating in self destructive behavior.  Just so happen I have never been good at self destructive behavior with having control issues and all.


Looking back I remember when I tested the waters, jumped out there, took the bull by the horns and left my 9-5.  It was wonderful.  I learned that hard work can pay off as long as you are working hard for yourself.  In the past I've done a number of things.    I've sold handcrafted jewelry at flea markets, fresh produce on corners, baked mini cakes for coffee vendors during the week and special order birthday cakes for people on the weekend.  I have also done commercial cleaning of condo buildings and in the 90s I owned and operated group homes.  Wait how can I fail to mention being a companion care aide to the elderly.  Now that was not only a lucrative endeavor but it proved to be very self gratifying too.

As of late I've been doing residential cleaning, running errands and walking dogs.  I've been offering services as a mobile notary and certified signing agent on loan closings and I am hopeful of landing a commercial cleaning contract in the next 90-days.  Administratively in the past and present I have written proposals, completed license packages, monitored staffing and consulted small business for license compliance and advised where changes needed to be.  Recently I have dabbled with creating websites.  Check them out give me some feeedback or better yet support the businesses at the sites listed here.  wwwburdenbusters.com www.mackadministrativeservices.com www.zenobiasdaughter.com www.livingstoncareconsultants.com and www.demolitiongirlz.com

See Zenobia's Daughter has always had at any given time 5-10 money making ideas in her head.  Money making ideas have always occupied space in my head.  In years past it was nothing for me to parlay my ideas into real income streams for myself.  I was the "Go To Girl."  I was the one others came to when they needed answers.  It was nothing for me to come up with a plan, system, or proposal to get the job done.  People paid me well, they appreciated and respected my ability to get things done for them.  I was truly the SUPER ENTREPRENEUR the one people always would say there she go again, that girl is always at it, always hustling, always got something going on.  Yeah that was me, key word being was.

Now don't get me wrong.  I still have the ideas, what I am lacking now is the courage.  The courage to just say that's it, here's my notice I'm moving on to BIGGER and BRIGHTER things.

I realize now the only thing that is really holding me back is me.  The more I think about it all I have to do is change a few things.  Lets see here now, living in the USA OVER_RATED, owning 2 cars or even driving a car OVER-RATED, having 200 pairs of shoes OVER-RATED, eating out OVER-RATED, cable television OVER-RATED, home telephone OVER-RATED, enjoyment of non-healthy eating foods, OVER-RAAAAAAAAAAAATED, expecting the people closest to you to support your dream, motivate you and encourage you really OVER-RATED and thinking that going to a 9-5 everyday makes life secure is not OVER-RATED, thinking that way is an on-going self defeating way of thinking for me.
