I have to say that the journey into
Entrepreneurship has been terrifying. A couple of years ago I went on
a journey to become totally reliant on the provision of God for all
of our needs. To put my faith where my mouth is and become a witness
to God's provision. While I still stand by the conviction that God
does indeed provide, I have since discovered the unromantic side of
being your own boss.
When I was preparing to go out on my
own, I remember hearing someone say that the reason most people stay
in a job is because you get addicted to a bi-weekly paycheck. Well,
there have been times this past week, when I have said to myself,
“self perhaps the steady injection of cash was not so bad after
all”. There has also been the occasion where I find myself saying,
“what was I thinking?”
Don't get me wrong, I am still grateful
for having gone through this journey, and I still believe in the
provision of God.
But the reality is that money is
starting to get tight, work is getting slow and while our Herbalife
business is growing it is not quite generating sustainable income
right now. I have to start considering looking for a job. As it
stands, I have sporadic work booked till the end of this month, but
nothing yet for the next.
They say things get darker before it
gets light, and with so many people becoming successful in their own
entrepreneurial efforts, I still have hope.
Still, if someone from my old school
asked me to come back...right now I would probably say yes.
