Why I haven’t been Posting
Hi guys. I haven’t posted in a very long time, half a month to be exact, and I’m feeling very embarrassed about it. I’ve had quite a number of people asking me if everything was fine with me, and I just want to say thank you for your concern, you really touched me. The fact of the matter is that I have been absolutely swamped with work, that I haven’t had the time to focus on my blog as I would have liked.
Some of you might know that I don’t actually have a job, if I did I would have more energy to focus on my blog, what I do have is a company. I’ve never had a job so far in my life, cause I’ve always figured that if I’m going to work, I might as well work for myself. As a result I’m always busy working on some project, which is really great. Having a company and being an entrepreneur is a very challenging and rewarding life to lead, and I must say that I love it.
Early this year I started my own company (it’s a corporation, never go for sole proprietorship or partnerships because of the broad liability) and I use it as a sort of umbrella for all my projects. I’m still busy ironing out kinks (they buggered up some paperwork in the beginning which I’m having to sort out) so that keeps me quite occupied. Other then that, I have a number of projects that I’m working on at the moment and I’m going to quickly run through some of them to give you a bit of an idea of what an entrepreneur’s life should look like:
- I own (together with my wife) an entertainment company. To be more precise, we specialize in balloon sculpting and face painting for children’s parties and corporate functions, we’ve also bought a jumping castle so we’re expanding a little. This doesn’t take a lot of time as I only do it for a few hours on the weekend.
- I’ve also started a company that deals with computers. We’ve recently relocated to another city so I’m having to start from scratch again. We basically buy and sell computers, and we also do repairs. I’m looking at expanding, I have a few possibilities to start doing some graphic design and web design.
- I love poker, so I’ve just bought some poker sets and I’m getting a table and I’m going to start renting them out for private parties and corporate events. Hopefully this takes off and I can start looking at it seriously.
- I’m working on getting an import/export license so that I can import some goods from China (preferably electronic goods). I’m also looking at some potential suppliers and I’m spending a lot of time reading and learning the ins and outs.
- As if that wasn’t enough to keep me focused, I’ve started network marketing as well. I’ve joined up with the Amway corporation and I’m taking it very seriously.
Now that I’ve put that out there I feel ashamed of myself, a real entrepreneur would have many more projects going on at the same time.
It’s not so much that I don’t have the time to write posts, it’s that when I was writing 1 post a day, all my focus was on my blog. I would spend the day thinking about what I was going to write that evening, it was great and I would love to spend my day doing that, but I have more important things that I need to focus on right now.
I love all my readers and one day I will be back in full force, but for now I have to focus on what is important in my life and the life of my family. I will try to post as often as I can, but please understand that that might not be as often as I’d like. If you have any questions or ideas that you would like me to discuss please leave a comment and I will be happy to write about it. Alternatively, if you would like to guest post on Simon’s Money Notes don’t hesitate to email me with your post.
Thank you for your support.
Simon
