I’ve done many things over the years from wine business and finance, real estate and private investing. I broke my back 10 years ago or so from a car hitting me on a motorcycle (twice actually) spent 8 years in bed. Quite literally. Have a family now and decided to stay home as my son has some serious health issues and just diagnosed with autism as well last week.
Lol. It sounds horribly depressing and much of it was and is, but so happy with my awesome family. Dying to get out into work again and start a new business. Hopefully in the next year.
Hobbies are hiking, camping, reef tanks, reading, writing. In the past, if it was fun I did it a lot. Snowboarding, martial arts instruction, windsurfing, diving, hang gliding, all things exciting. But right now my life is quite the opposite. At home all day for my kid and trying to keep busy. Now he’s in school and new medications, hoping to start something soon. Got a nice, tall, intelligent and gorgeous blonde wifey with a medical license paying the bills at the moment. So ... can’t complain on that front. She’s amazing. But I do feel like I’m in a prison not working, not having that satisfaction of accomplishment. I can work hard all day but it’s not the same as a career... but I’m sure I’ll rebuild and get things going again soon.
Re. an earlier psot.. The worst thing one can do is compare themselves to others too much. Lead your own path. It’s tough not to, but it generally isn’t helpful.
As far as what’s next? I’m not sure. I’ve worked for myself since I was 24 and 40 now. I’m decent at having my own business. Just need to pick a direction and go. Trying to find something I can run from home for now. I’ll find it .... hope it’s sooner than later.
I smoke in moderation. Only one cigar at a time. - Twain
