The Power Of Yes

My current job has me experiencing a lot of NO.

It’s something I try and not take personally, but doing so is sometimes a challenge when yes is what fuels what is next for me and my dream.

It’s one thing to own your own business, it’s another to build it, and in building it, to then ask for donations to move a business model to the next level.

I don’t have time to think of failing. I keep working day in and day out and just keep grinding, but its some times bloody tough to stay positive.

I have been inviting individuals to invest in George 54, and many in these last months have been willing to give which has gotten us this far.

Currently though my pool of individuals is dry and I have found myself at a local bank.

Today is the day they give my application a look and I am hoping for a yes!

Restaurants are a risk for banks. Bad locations, poor management, and other circumstances often have these establishments fail. Since my first go around and project was such a win, I feel confident that what I am striving for is so different and well conceived that the bank will fund it.  Fingers crossed the bank loves the business plan and concept and makes the loan.

The road is hard I will not lie, the current stress of even my most basic bills and wondering how I am going to pay them is hard on me.  Sure the odd side jobs work…but I do ponder my life at times and have big questions about my direction, especially when I try to get part time jobs and the employer wonders what the hell is going on when they see my resume.

If I am truthful I had hoped I would have had George up and running by now and not be having this type of worry or stress.

I have been spending time at the gym.  Each time I go I feel stronger, those personal results remind me that each day doing something, even something small, can make a difference. I am fortunate to have some really great people around me that believe in what I am doing. They too are helping me get through these trying times and like me have belief in the power of yes.

Deep Sigh.  Focus. Don’t ever lose sight of why you are doing what you’re doing. Hard for me not to, I bloody love the Bus. And if you don’t love it, figure out what you do love and change paths. Don’t sit on someone else’s dream by staying in a job you hate, if you aren’t happy its OK to figure out ways to change your role and figure out what will make you happy.

Perhaps you are an individual seeking to invest?

I’d love to have you be part of what I am up to.

Let’s talk!!
