In Mourning!

Ok, I will admit it. I have been in mourning. I am a football addict and like most years at the end of the Football season I tend to spiral into an endless funk with nothing to look forward to each week. This season was particularly stressful as, right or wrong, I was hanging onto the success of the Indianapolis Colts to get me through what has easily been the toughest few months of my life.

As the business was spiralling and I was unsure what the future would bring the pursuit of an undefeated season and then a Super Bowl was something that gave me a center point. Yes I also continued to be grounded in the belief that God would provide but there was something about joining with thousands of others in Central Indiana rooting on our FieldTurf Warriors that made me feel life had some sense of sanity.

Once they lost I was left to face the perils of a new life all on my own. The good news is the last thirty days have been extremely productive in pursuing a new life. It didn't take long to realize that jobs are few and far between even for those as extremely competent and talented as me :) Instead I have fully re-established the business in the basement of our house and have looked to add as many revenue sources as possible. That is the real secret to surviving in this new environment I believe. Simply roll up your sleeves and get to work when times get tough. Like I have told many, the bleeding has now stopped. Now I am in business physical therapy. It is time to start getting the revenue moving forward and that is what we are focusing on.

Most people borrow money and go to college to get their MBA and then have a student loan to pay off. I have my MBA from the school of hard knocks and it is my turn to make student loan payments.

Keep us in your prayers.
