As I contemplate my circumstances, it’s clear that I’m here because I’ve been avoiding stuff.
I feel I’ve addressed the issue of avoidance before but I have a deeper awareness now of what I’ve been avoiding and why it’s important to stop avoiding.
What have I been avoiding? Reality. The reality? People in small business do things and I take those things to mean I don’t have value. It’s all about my ego. No actually, it’s all about focusing on my ego’s reaction which is valid but not that important.
It’s about my decision to give my ego’s response and interpretation meaning and allow that meaning to guide my decisions and actions.
At this point, I’m considering the following actions and haven’t yet tipped in favor on any one in particular:
Look at technical projects that sound interesting and that I’m qualified to work on. This action supports finding contract consulting work.
Talk with people about their marketing and messaging challenges. This action supports creating a business.
Doing some exercises to help me better articulate what exactly I’m looking for which would actually support both since if I can better articulate what I’m wanting, I’m open to different ways to having those things.
OK, based on the above, adding some words to articulate what I’m interested in sounds like the way to go.
