As time passes I question quitting my job but I will move forward and open our family business. My mind is creating all kinds of irrational possibilities. I think it started when Mandy's car broke down. We are in a hurt locker but this is something that I should be used to. I am glad I grew up poor so things like this don't scare me very much. All I need to do is take action, move forward, and improvise a new plan of action.

I work well under pressure, it is the slow times that I lose my edge. We will rally this into a win, not just a win, we are going to come out of this with an explosion that will rock everything we have ever known and skyrocket us into a world where car repairs and electric bills are waved away with the swipe of a pen and the bank account never gets low. 18 years of working toward a dream and on the 28th I will work for myself and only myself for the first time in history.

I have had 3 failed stores but I have never been in the position to make them anything more than a second job or even a hobby because I had to work another job. This time, all of my energy and effort go into our family business and we will succeed. It is the perfect time to get the business going too, with the economy down we have time to get everything working just right for when the economy comes back up.

We are already seeing help wanted signs all over the towns all around us and we aren't the only new business in Melbourne. Last month another one opened up. the times when everyone else worries and plays it safe are the times when the confident and the adventuresome become rich and powerful. If your Going to play the game you have to be willing to lose.

The cool part is that when you have nothing, losing everything doesn't hurt as much and you can just get right back up and start again, when your poor what else can they do? take away your birthday? they can have it. We will win, there are no other options.
