The Beginning...

So, like gazillions of people out there, I now have another BLOG. But this one for me will be different. It will actually be public.

why?

Well, its 1am, Jan 6th-2009 here now and I am trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I have been scouring, researching, and working at creating my own Virtual Services Business. My own at home business. Still going through the process.

For a myriad of reasons, including my health, I am currently unemployed. I haven't been able to maintain a fulltime job position do to the uncertainty of my condition... employers don't seem to want to take on the challenge too long.

So over recent years I've been developing a Home Office idea that incorporates my passions, and experience. My goal really is a Lifestyle Entrepreneur.. money isn't so much my motivator, @ this time. I just need to survive the day-day gruel, but still be able to enjoy my time in the world, with friends.

Now, since last month I've decide not to try that fulltime job thing again... it just doesn't work out. So I've been putting a lot of energy into producing a solid and impressive business plan, doing some networking, and even tried a bit of classified adverts (which was a waste).

My training background is in Food + Beverage Management, which I love... but I fell in love on the side with Event Planning + Production... with a nookie now and then from Media + PR.

Basically I am a very big introvert... unless I'm working, then i can be a social butterfly. I'm not fond of being around people unless i'm actively involved in something, and that usually means i'm working.

So, my business plans involved elements of the three... pretty much offering admin services, consulting, bookkeeping... etc

But its not looking so good so far. I knew I needed a website. so on Nov 22 i paid a developer to get one up for me. The contract said 5-7 days... Well, Jan 6th, 2009 and still no website. That cost me $12g (about $155us)and that was just a down payment. And that is upsetting. I'm too calm i know. But I'm letting it slide only because I'm still working on what i'm offering. But it would have been helpful in getting some leads if i could have a site to promote myself with.

So this will be the story of my evolution.. the growth of the Jamaican Entrepreneur. teh bumps the rumps, the blockages, the windows, the doors, the floors.... But one day... i will end this blog, as i would have achieved my dream of becoming the ideal Lifestyle Entrepreneur.. in my eyes.
