Cardio Kung Fu is growing, however, so are our household
bills. In December I took a little
hiatus from full-time employment to focus on what our family needed (me home
more with more flexibility while my husband traveled for work) and started
working part-time. This was ok for a
while but recently it became clear to me that I needed to go back to work
full-time. I’m not independently wealthy
so I don’t have the luxury of losing money while I get CKF up and running and
working part-time, while the flexible schedule was awesome to begin with, has
felt more like being held hostage as time has gone on. I couldn’t get into a rhythm of working on
growing CKF with my schedule changing every week (not to mention not being
posted until a few days before the week actually started) and my stress was
mounting with each barely-over-minimum payment I was making on my one credit
card that has a balance on it. After
much consideration, a couple of weeks ago I decided to start looking for a
full-time gig again. Part of this
contemplation included looking at pros and cons. The pros, money, a feeling of purpose again
doing work that was appreciated, structure, stability, vacation days, sick
days. The cons, no more full days off to
build CKF, and, well I couldn’t come up with anything else. Since I wasn’t actually using the full days
to build my business (there were also pesky things like laundry, vacuuming,
cooking, etc to catch up on since my work
schedule was so all over the map) I decided there really wasn’t a down
side. CKF is a new fitness program and
the way I’m building exposure is by adding community education sites and that I
can do while working. It’s going to take
time before I’m a household name so I figure why not have a stable income in
the meantime. I also know myself well
enough to know I’m at my most effective when my schedule is full. A full schedule means I don’t have time to
waste on actions that won’t garner results.
And that’s just what this guy said so if it’s in a blog on the internet,
it’s got to be true, right?
Oh, and BTW, I start my new full-time job on Tuesday…
