Not Sustainable

By Abe Newmeyer, November 2, 2022

Work & BusinessGratitude & Perspective

Yesterday was Day Two working for someone else. I’m only working part time, it doesn’t interfere with my regular work day, and it provides some consistent income, but it’s not sustainable. Training my time for pay isn’t the most efficient manner to create wealth. In fact, that type of exchange could be one of the worst ways to generate wealth. After careful review, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, at this point.

The exchange of time for money affords me the ability to establish and abide by a budget. It offers a not too rigorous schedule that doesn’t stop me from working towards my end game. It’s not something I’ll need to do for more than a year or so. I’ll more than likely be able to suspend my account in less than six months or at least have the option to work fewer hours for another company.

My primary objective must remain top of mind. I’m here for one reason and one reason only. Any and every thing not aligned with what’s primary is a distraction. I refuse to allow distractions and negative influences deter me and I’ll do what’s needed. This exercise is merely another course correction. I’ve changed plans before and will again and this particular change may prove an accelerant.

Today, Wednesday, November 2, 2022, I am grateful that:

I’m getting more comfortable making calls to strangers. It’s not even my product offering and my confidence is growing. This will prove essential for building my audiobook production company and I’m happy to be paid to remember some of my talents.

I’m getting my swagger back. My confidence is growing. I’m truly grateful to recall what I’ve done and capable of doing. It’s important enough that I wrote about it twice.

I am grateful that: Aaron and I got a chance to grab a slice of pizza yesterday. It was a pleasant and welcomed break from my daily routine. He and I have both been working a ton of hours and haven’t been able to get together socially often so an impromptu lunch was great.

When did you last change your plans?

How long will you have to stick with the new plan?

What are you gaining from that recent reprioritization?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
