Struggling against the twin forces of time and space

 You may think that this is a strange title for a post. Yet we all do struggle against time and space in some way or another. For everyone that has been following my saga of struggling to find gainful employment, time is a huge factor. I have been trying to work past my introvert tenancy of keeping to myself and not reaching out to others. It is difficult to expose yourself to the World Wide Web hoping that no one will steal your identity and defame your good name. It is also difficult to find the space you need to work.

Recently I decided to work on starting my own business. One of the biggest obstacles I have is finding space to work in. The space has to be quiet and free of distraction. It has to have the resources I need to do the work. Then there is the factor of time. You have to schedule your time or else you get caught up in stuff you really shouldn't be doing. Anyone who has thought about starting their own business runs across this. How do you find the time?

Research does take a lot of time. You have to decide what services you are going to provide, your target audience and how you are going to provide those services. Setting rates for various services and building clients is all part of growing a business. I know this. I also know that I am a long way from learning all the "ins and outs" of starting a business. I am still looking for someone to help me out here.

Facing fears of being homeless and unemployable is my first step out of the quagmire I find myself in. I have to tell myself daily that the Lord will provide shelter for me, and that I'm not unemployable. I am admittedly impatient to find the right position for my skills and experience that will utilize the skills I've acquired over the years. I am not, like the media would like people to believe, willing to take handouts from the government and not work for them. I am not a bum. I want to work. I just have to get the right person's ear that is willing to give me a chance.
