Another day spent house hunting.
Well most of it … after lunch we were so disappointed that we came home, lay down on the bed and slept most of the afternoon away.
I did try to work in the evening but ended up looking at houses again.
It’s like a giant treasure hunt and whilst I’m on the trail I feel so excited. Every house seems like it could be the one. On paper it ticks all the boxes. The pictures on the Internet look attractive or at least workable. We rush over there to view the house and then …. crushing disappointment. Either the house is a wreck and just can’t be saved, it just won’t work for what we need or worst of all, its already sold!
The rush of ‘this is the one’ is so addicting though. I just can’t seem to stop looking.
But it turns out that its a massive and time consuming task.
Combined with a full-time job, the project to build this business and Christmas a few short weeks away I’m feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to cope.
When I reach this stage I just … fold. It’s all I can do to keep myself going through the motions without worrying whether I’m being effective or not.
And the thing that suffers is always the business.
I just need to remind myself that owning my own home is also a massive step toward financial freedom.
And … it’s well worth putting in the effort to find something that I’ll love rather than something that will do.
This project is very important to me but its not everything.
So … the moral I guess is quit beating up on myself about how little I seem to be achieving. If I focus on how it will feel to succeed – an oh it will feel just amazing! – then some how, some way things will fall into place.
My goal – have a successful Internet based business that will allow me to work from home, or in fact any where in the world, and earn a great income doing the things I love.
