For some time I have been deliberating about the next course of action. The last post relating to this was written on April 5th entitled ‘Exposing a larger surface area to increase opportunities‘.

 

I have managed to secure a basic I.T. contract working in the client’s office that allows me to pay the bills. This contract is a junior position and hence does not require me to be responsible other than to do the work at hand. The hours are 8am until 4pm which allows me to get back to me office before the working day ends. The money suits the position and wont get me rich but it does provide me a ’status quo’ on the cash flow situation enabled me not to slide into debt.

 

Now that outgoings are covered. I am focusing on winning business and building the company by following up on prospects that did not come to fruition due to the recession. I have noticed that since April the number of inquiries and opportunities have risen and I expect my company will have enough business for me to work full time on it very soon.

 

I am working on a proposal for a very large company at the moment and if that works out, we will be back in business.

 

I have been trading using a demo or practice account (see previous post). My trades are winning and losing and I have been bouncing around my start capitol so far. So no where near making a living from trading.

 

I am learning a lot about economics at the moment in particular about supply and demand and the maths behind the market. I can already see this shaping the way I think about the business world and changing the way I make decisions. I’ll write about this in a separate  post.

 

So all in all, I have covered the downside, working on the upside and making sure I am exploring opportunities and learning.

 

Life is good.
