Sidetrailed…
Well, it has been far too long since my last post… 96 days to be exact. Some friends have begun to wonder what happened. Have I given up? Am I thinking about looking for “normal” employment? Neither of those is the case, at least not yet. I was just sidetrailed for a while.
Sidetrailed, not sidetracked, because well… I headed down a completely different trail, with a very different destination. I knew going in that there was a high likelihood it would be an entrepreneurial dead end, but for a variety of reasons I took the path anyway. I had an opportunity to work with a good friend on a very interesting project (one I may pick up again someday).
Bad decision? Maybe, especially given my limited funds. Good fun? Definitely. Would I do it again knowing how it turned out? Absolutely. You never know what that brief detour could enable in the future. Besides, how many of us get the chance to work on an exciting venture with one of our best friends? A partnership based on more than financials with someone you know you can trust.
That makes me feel all the more fortunate, since I am now partnering with my best friend on my original idea. Two great opportunities in just a few short months. Only time and hard work will tell how it all goes, but I’m optimistic.
