I have been so busy with looking at my opportunities for work that I've neglected to write anything lately, so here's an update. Today I went to a workshop on how to finance a new business, whether it's a start up or a franchise. It was very informative and gave me some new things to look at. Last week I spoke with three different franchises to see if any of them fit with what I want to do. I think they all have potential, but my issue is that I don't feel very passionate about any of them. I think I could be successful doing any business, and I think a couple of them could actually be a great source of income, but I don't know if my heart is in it... and this is why:
I went to my church on Friday morning to do my weekly service answering phones and updating social media, and it just feels like a wonderful place to be. I love being around the people, I love being able to help them with what they are doing (one women needed me to help her with her computer) and I love posting information on their website and social media. In fact, they asked if I was interested in running a free seminar for the congregation on the internet, social media, and the website. I like to feel needed and I like to use my skills. I felt so good when I left church that day, that I know I want to feel that every day.
This makes me think I need to have something I'm passionate about, rather than just a source of income. I'm not ruling out any of the franchises yet, but I have two more business ideas I want to look into. One is a new product idea and the other is a new business. It has been successful in other areas of the Northeast and it's something I've been thinking about for five years.
How fortunate for me that my life has afforded me this opportunity to look at my life. I wish I had a clearer picture of where I'm heading, but I'm pleased that I am moving forward.
