A New Venture-Taking Those First Steps

I guess I can blame my parents for literally forcing me to take these first steps. They know my financial situation. The pressure is definitely on to do something to gain employment and/or gain a steady source of income within the next couple of months. They just don't want to hear anymore how difficult it is. I understand. They've put up with me for too long. Yet I can't help but get excited about a new venture that just may be the "ticket" for me to get some much needed cash.

I can't say too much right now since it's in the very early stages of development. The initial meeting to hash out the ideas this afternoon was very interesting. The problem is how to get the right people interested and willing to help out. It all comes down to who will be willing to invest in the idea. Ideas are good, but if you can't get any traction on them...then they "flop." For the people that are in on it with me, I'd hate to see that.

It is kind of scary too. I don't have the money to invest. I do have the passion to save these old buildings, making them useable again and creating revenue for the borough(s). It is going to be hard to make borough(s) understand the benefits they can realize by renovating and reusing old buildings instead of demolishing them. This will be hard to get across because American society loves to discard old stuff for new. It is only fairly recently that some have pressed for conservation and renewal of our resources. It makes economic sense as well.

We do have to sit down, polish up our ideas and get them in easy to understand format. Generating interest will be a key component in getting our ultimate goals in place. What am I hoping with this venture? I guess I'm hoping to generate a steady income for myself. If that's selfish talk, then I'd have to agree...but it's not going to get anywhere if there is no "buy-in." It is the old "what's in it for me" syndrome. The investors need to know what they will get out of their investment. It makes sense. Even I would like to have my money work for me.

I do pray that something comes my way. I admittedly dread having to work for a medical office or company. The pressure is there though...my parents want me to take anything...just so money is coming in. I admit that my financial situation has caused me to reconsider my stance for shift work, which would be my destiny should I succumb to taking a medical job. I feel fairly certain about that, since most medical offices/companies are begging for people to work those mid and overnight shifts.

I could be wrong, of course....but something else is also barring me from applying for medical office work. I hate it....plain and simple. I hate having my personal information exposed and hate having to ask all those personal questions of others. There I said it. So, my prayer is...Please...Dear God...Please Help Me Get A Job That Has Nothing To Do With The Medical Profession!!!!! I MEAN IT!

PLEASE STOP PRESSURING ME TO COMPLY WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!! I NEED A JOB THAT WILL NOT ASK ME TO EXPOSE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET....AND I NEED IT NOW.
