Gathering Momentum

Each day moves us forward in our quest for a living income and more.  We are gathering momentum and making a lot of progress.  The biggest thing is that we are working more consistently now.  When you work for yourself consistency is very important.  When you work on a job, maybe you can goof off a lot, not get caught and get a way with it for a week, a month or longer.  When you work for yourself, you HAVE TO work when you work. 

Sharon and I have been self employed since 1995, when I got downsized.  Nice term, “downsized”.  I guess it sound nicer than “laid off”.  We have sold used electronic equipment all this time.  It has been good at time and bad at times.  Ebay made it much better and more consistent, but it still had big ups and downs. 

How well you succeed depend on how dedicated you are to your business.  When we had our down times, I flowed with the lowered income instead of aggressively trying to increase it back to where it should have been.  This is a problem in you own business. You control the income.  Work hard or work smart and reap the rewards.
