Personal Reflections on Going Back To Work

Dear Daddy,

It has already been 9 months since I last resigned from my previous job.

Honestly, my life has change so much because of that very day that I left my fulltime job and became an entrepreneur.

Life has been tough. Earning money is not as easy as it seemed when I was still planning to resign. In fact, that’s the only big challenge after I left my job. No boss to report to. No quota to reach. No ass kissing. And I now choose what time I want to go home.

Indeed deciding to quit my job and become a fulltime “entrepreneur” was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Now I am definitely enjoying the time that I spend with my family and the kind of “work” that I do.

But it was all well until Eli came. Your greatest gift to me daddy. Our first born baby. Life couldn’t be much more perfect except for one important thing – MY INCOME.

Since I am no longer single and have a small family to care of, I am now concern of where to get the income. Baby’s needs are fast growing. She needs milk, vitamins, more clothes, immunizations, and many more.

I wonder if I can make just by doing the same things that I am doing now. Obviously, I wont be able to.

Currently the idea of having a job with a salary is very attractive.

Daddy, am I really cut for the entrepreneurial life?

All of my peers in Business Incubators are slowly leaving me behind. In terms of income, I am still left with a nada in terms of income.

Deep inside me I want to give up. I want to make the easier choice and go back to being an employee. But another part, knows that I can still do better. That somehow, I can really earn big as an entrepreneur rather than just being an employee.

I know it’s all up to me.

But I decide right now that I am not giving up. It has to start with my very own self. I have to be very convinced in my own self, that I too can make living being an entrepreneur. That to become a Multi-Millionaire starts with getting rid of all the garbage in my mind.

All these years I have been carrying these garbage. And it is the main reason why am still poor at this very moment.

Father, I pray that may you bless me with the strength to change my mind. It has to start here. In my very being, I have to become the person I want to be in my mind before I become that person in REALITY.

So help me Father, in Jesus mighty name.

Amen
