Besides working a full-time job, I also, as you know, run several on-line businesses, not for the most part I don’t really do anything, except make sure my ads are running and working. I also, do Real Estate and I am a notary, the real estate business is slow, I do have two clients I am working with right now showing houses and most of the time one of the clients I show a few houses during the week after my 7-4 job. As for the other clients I usually show houses on Saturdays and mostly early morning between the hours of 9-12. So working these businesses has actually become tiring….now the funny thing is I started a new business, well actually not new, but is the other side of one of my online business. I worked now directly with real live people, training, support and encouragement. That business has really taken up any left over time I had, now please realize that I have a family, wife and 2 kids and well let me say, they require a lot of attention as well, so I need to be care on how I prioritize my time, so most of the time I find myself working late on the computer or phone. All this activity allows only for, say, 3-4 hours of sleep if I am lucky…sometimes I don’t sleep and just lay there. Now take all that into account plus the fact that I am getting older, not younger, and my body is feeling the pain. I know people that know me say I need to take it easy, but how I see it is, the way the economy is if don’t generate enough income to put something away, I never know what would the future bring. I mean I could loose my job and then where would I be. So, as long as I can and while I am still young and able, then I work extra hard. I am pretty certain that eventually the online business(es) will bring in enough money to where I can stop working a full-time job and concentrate on the businesses, my own, that are generating income. Of course like many, I would like to build some money so I can start making it work for me…I know it can it’s the fact that we need to build a large enough amount in order for it to make any dents on our finances.
The thing is, that’s is why I have not been able to dedicate more time to my blog and Pod Casts, I actually really enjoy doing them both, but my time has been taken over with all of these things…take it, they are not bad, but you know…my body is seriously getting tired. There are times I really feel like just shutting out the world for a whole weekend…have someone to pamper with food, drink and all I have to do is sit watch TV, sleep and well just relax and let me recharge…and I think a whole weekend is required…maybe three days. Anyhow, so why am I writing this…sounds sort of negative…but maybe because I wanted to share what I am feeling and why it is happening, also…maybe it’s good to share…in case there are other’s like me out there doing what I am doing…it’s a wake up call, a reality check…to take a step back and take some time to relax…seriously. I should take my own advice and see if this is possible…I know I have kids and wife…so it could be tough, but if we or I don’t do something quick I will simply flop over dead or run rabid screaming like a mad man when I loose a screw in my head…geez.
Well, thanks for reading and I hope everyone out there is doing great, I hope to post again soon, till next time this is Latino Man signing off.
