Guidance

I am not sure what kind of compass Spirit works based off from.

(That was a grammatically challenging sentence – did I get it right? Lol)

Though it may have the ultimate goal in mind with the best of intentions, I suspect that it at times forgets that I still have to “put bread on the table” daily.

When I think about the last office I worked for and analyze what fit for me, I liked the clients being brought to me, and the income flow’s diversity.

It was fun and useful – highly applicable to my current needs and situation – to always have some sort of money trickling in.

And, I felt happy there because I was able to spend at least a full hour with each client, with a time buffer between ending with one and beginning the next.

I did not mind back-to-back bustle, and I thought I’d found a genuine team to collaborate with.

What I am finding so far in its place are offices that want to chop up sessions into incremental pieces.

And, they want me to work at higher intensity and capacity, for less pay.

If I were to work their full time version, my adrenals at this point would again hit burnout.

Look.

It would be different if, say, I were working at a movie studio and under timelines of accomodating people.

Why do I say this?

Because it would be exciting with a sense of purpose.

There would be a shared interest and a common goal toward supporting people in their being creative.

Then again, the pressure might be from odd hours and too many clients – at random rushes.

I am getting the signal that I ought to, indeed, open my own office.

But, initially, there is not that needed income security as I’d build my client base.

And, the pandemic is still an issue.
