Bad News = Good News
Well just minutes ago I got a phone call from my client. Due to budget reasons they are making cuts and need to cut back on how much they budget for my services. Well I was charging them a ridiculously low rate per hour for what I do, but that is beside the point.
They cut it in half. OUCH!!!
OUCH!! Big time. That was the majority of my income.
I sat down and did some budget work with pencil and paper and a calculator.
I can just make ends meet.
Kevin, how does this Bad News = Good News?? you may ask...
The way I look at it... now I am freed up those hours I was working for him to pursue other means of making income with my business. Just need to decided which way to run and take massive action.
Yes, the budget constraints do put a serious damper on my goals, but not impossible.
Had to share... get knocked on my ass...stand up, put my dukes up and keep swinging.
GRRRR
Kevin

Just keep going -- you will find out why this was a good thing! And that will prove to be the case just keep your eyes and ears open! Best wishes!
Joyce, thank you, I will keep marching forward, work hard and have faith in Him to work it all out for my good.
Yes one has to stay optimistic at all times ..But this will make you spread efforts so you are not relying on just one or so clients etc
ianmfk, Thanks. yes, I need to have more lines of income and not rely on just one, you are right. I knew better than this and should have taken action before.
May be the best thing to happen to you!!! Use the extra time and get down to the business of learning this business. I t will work if you work it!!! Best to you Kevin.
Dave, yes it may just be. My mother told me "I believe something better is out there waiting" or something similar. Yes, now time to refocus hard and turn the energy into that focus. I must confess, it is a bit like getting punched in the gutt.
I been there, done that...not a good feeling at all. But I have always picked myself up, dusted off the dirt, and started punching back. I occasionally get a good punch in and a KNOCKOUT now and then!!! WA offers you a great opportunity to take control of what you want to do. I sure like the control for myself and not letting the other guys dictate my future for me. You'll do well my friend!
