The worst is having nothing or no one. It can be very difficult to know where to start. I read a story of a man who was locked up in prison for so long that he became friends with ants and rats.
I mean, how bored someone can be to a point that what he would have actually been fighting, he is trying to accommodate to keep himself motivated.
He said he would quietly watch the ants doing their patrol on his prison roof while refusing to threaten the rat anytime it showed up. The rat and the ants never knew they even had a human friend I guess; especially for the rat, that would be a very risky business.
Running a business has been full of ups and downs. Sourcing for professionals, sourcing for apprentices and also working on how to build a reputable customer base. It can be very dicey, professionals are very fun frustrating your workflow. Apprentices on the other hand can't handle what needs professional touches and this is where it seemed I am locked in-between.
Today has been a day of no professionals around. When you are in business as upcoming, you will face it; professionals are mostly after their instant pay. The ‘let’s build mentality’ is not their thing. Instant gratification has been one big setback that getting the right people is very slim. It has been a workaholic situation for me.
It would have been worse in the absence of at least an apprentice. Sometimes you have to give people an opportunity to showcase why they’ve learned. That professionalism mentality can keep hiding the talents of others.
I just saw that today, I had to give my apprentice an opportunity; what choice did I really have actually? There has been a lot on my table to pull out; bills, current general electricity to rectify and a whole lot of ember clothes to pull out.
I have seen progress while I stepped out to attend to other things and I have to admit, the available matters. Every little effort adds up. Do you have any experience to share, join in the conversation.
