The truth is, it’s not just you.
The general sentiment floating around the American culture is that of distress and anxiety. Everywhere you look people are intent on believing we as a country, and even individuals. are quickly and steadily running out of time. They don’t know what should be done about it, but something should be done. They don’t know who should do anything about it, but someone should do something.
Those of us who are looking to be blessed with some sense of fulfillment in their lives usually have goals, or general direction. Something we’re working on, towards, or against. For some of us, these things emerge much earlier in our lives, and the path is a lot more clear. For many years, I’ve known that I wanted to be in the business world and someday found and run a large web company. I’m still working up to the scale I’d like, but I have a relatively large self-funded web hosting network, a large network of websites and online services, and only need to focus on a few things to really tie it all together.
If you know me on any personal level, or follow along with my cryptic blogs, you may know that I ended an engagement with my longterm girlfriend at the end of last year. Slowly but surely I’m beginning to readjust and get used to it. I miss her often still, and it’s definitely affected my work this year in many ways, but I know ultimately it was for the best. The intense feeling of impending doom afterwards wasn’t something I enjoyed, but I’ll deal with it. Honestly though, the whole experience taught me a lot and caused me to reevaluate things in my life. As much as I miss that girl, I’d be lying to say I regret the lessons I’ve learned from that relationship.
As the title to this post states, despite the looming tick of the clock, there is plenty of time. Time for mistakes, time for fun, and whatever else you feel like along the way. If you’re focused on where you want to go, you’ll eventually get there. I guess you could say the biggest thing I learned from the breakup was to make the time. Make time to have fun and enjoy your success, otherwise whats the point?
To realize the vision I’d like to achieve with my company, I’ve begun laying out a road map to the end goal I’d like to achieve over the next few years from a business standpoint. I’ve done so before in the past to varying degrees, but this time things are to the point where I might actually have all the pieces to the puzzle, and it’s refreshing. I have a vast amount of resources, and many years of knowledge and experience, I just need to buckle down and refine a few of my existing services, create a few viral hits, and see where it takes me.
On that note, expect a lot of product announcements over the next few months. I’m looking to make some major moves with my businesses and will be working to increase the exposure of the network dramatically.
