Job Hunting

By Abe Newmeyer, March 22, 2022

Work & BusinessDiscipline & Habits

There’s something to be said for the consistency of a paycheck. The ability to “clock in and out” and do one’s work for the day. The ability to perform the tasks assigned and not have to worry about much other than that. It’s less challenging and complicated than owning one’s own business. I’m at a spot professionally where I’m willing to do both.

So I’m putting together my portfolio. I’m searching for another position. Something in an organization where I can add value, be impactful, and provide consistent, incremental improvements. It’s the same thing I do for my clients, but with a paycheck.

My inconsistency has been a throne in my side for about a decade, maybe more. I’ve got to produce consistent income, in order to build. I’ve got to build in order to be impactful. I’ve got to be impactful because it’s part of my purpose, my reason for existing on this planet, at this time.

Pride tells me I don’t need a job, but the facts show otherwise. Things are less challenging with regularity. The only struggles I face during employment are during the first few months. After that, work goes on autopilot and I’m left to do whatever I choose.

So I’ll put together an updated resume and portfolio. I’ll search and apply. I will find employment within short order. More than likely, before the end of April.

Today, Tuesday, March 22, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’m recalling some of the older ideas. Basic, old adages are becoming more pertinent as I get older. Maybe they’ve always been important, but my immaturity couldn’t understand them at the time.

When it’s time to get things done, I’m willing. I’m at a critical point in building this business so I’ve got to dig and do what’s needed. No more reasons for not succeeding.

Cousin Beverly and I got a chance to talk. She’s an incredible person. I’m fortunate to not only know her, but be related to her.

Which stage of business are you in?
