Sometimes in life we are asked to stop and slow down.
I finished (am finishing) one chapter by automating my business -- after the next 2 weeks I will not be involved at all.
I keep asking myself
what do I want to do?
what should I do?
And the truth is ... I'm not sure.
I was frustrated at first -- feeling inadequate.
Why am I not more motivated?
Why do I not feel passionate about something?
Yet, with time -- I have seen the situation more clearly.
I've spent the better part of the last year building this business -- and low and behold, I managed to turn it into something rather successful. I spent a lot of time and energy getting it to where it is ... and now, I kind of just want to chill for a bit. :P
I have to acknowledge that this is ok -- it is more than ok, it is proper, good and healthy.
To exert oneself, to strive, surely leads to fatigue and with that fatigue comes the need for rest.
I have done the exertion -- now it is time to reap the rewards, to kick back and relax and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Surely, as soon as I have taken the rest that I need and deserve, something else will catch my eye and the next journey will begin.
What business did you start? Congratulations on your success! It's not easy to step aside and let your "baby" grow sometimes.
Hi @bobthebuilder2 ... I actually built a construction business :P
We build decks and porches.
It was not my first construction business so I found it easier than the first -- yet at the same time, I got disinterested more quickly as I was solving the same problems again and again.
