Looking for contract work help!

By Leave a Comment

Hi everyone

Just a quick question here. Do you know any seamstresses (male or female) going through GV?  This might be as an alterations company, or someone who sews on the side (but has clients) and is looking for more work.

I like to try to ‘keep it in the GV family’ whenever I can, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask!  We’re growing quite quickly and are looking for more contract worker help!

Sincerely,

Barb Armstrong

From the Desk of Daniel DiPiazza

Founder | Bestselling Author | Millennial Overlord

Starting a business will not automatically improve the quality of your life.

I used to be an entrepreneurial “fundamentalist.” An evangelist, even.

I thought that everybody should work for themselves. And I was loud about it.

So loud that I ended up writing a bestselling book on it.

But I was wrong…

It’s not that working for yourself isn’t great. Or that entrepreneurship itself isn’t a valuable pursuit.

It’s just that starting a business will not automatically improve the quality of your life.

The quality of your life is dependent on the day-to-day decisions that you make. Entrepreneurship is just one of those decisions.

So is what you eat for dinner tonight.

Starting a business may or may not make you happier. It may or may not make you more money. It may or may not taste as sweet as advertised.

What will make you happier is continuing to develop new skills by doing challenging work. Work that forces you to learn and think differently. Work that requires you to collaborate with people who you might normally never cross paths with.

It’s a bonus if you can get paid for the skills that you end up developing. But you still need to be developing new skills.

In other words, the point isn’t to “make money while you sleep so that you can focus on the things you REALLY care about…”

The point is to do work that you care about regardless. You should never separate what you do for work from what you actually care about. You can’t live two lives at once.

Nah mean?

Talk soon,  D

 

See what I mean? I love this message. There are some great people out there to follow

Sale of a Business… know anyone who might be interested?

By Leave a Comment

My parents are selling part of their business: https://www.oldboatbrochures.com/for-sale/

It’s a profitable, low work business for someone as stay-at-home, part-time or retirement income. They need dry space for shelving, and some computer skills to scan and email files. A love of boats is good too!

If you know someone….

Thanks so much,

Jen Gingrich
