Things I think, but rarely say
I wonder if everyone thinks that I do what I do for fun, or to pass the time, or as a reason to not “really work.”
Do they not realize that I am completely serious in my attempts to make my dream come true. To quote one of my favorite songs, I’ve got bills to pay, I’ve got mouths to feed, there ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I am completely serious about making my vision a reality and it is very discouraging to have put in as much time and effort to not see anything come out of it. I have chased this dream to the point of poverty and yet I feel like people STILL aren’t taking me seriously. Time and time again the formula has proven that it works and with a little outside support, it will grow and succeed far beyond anyone’s expectations, but alas, the support I need is not there.
It just seems like I have been going at this alone for too long. There has to be someone else out there who sees the value in what I am doing to the ends that the means I need to take care of my family while building the business will no longer be an issue.
This will work. I KNOW it will. People, even if you can’t do it financially, help me find people who can. The say the secret to success is to surround yourself with people who can help you achieve your goals. Well I have spent the last three years surrounding myself with the best of the best in the hopes that I can help them with their dreams and life’s projects. Now I am asking you to help me with mine.
Even if all you can do is point me in the direction of someone who you think might have the slightest interest in financially backing the company, that is something. Point being is that I just CAN’T keep doing this all for free. My time, my talents, they are worth something, and I need to start collecting or I will have to remove myself from the very things I have worked so hard to build.
I don’t want to have to do that….
