Excited about Working From Home
I have been making some real progress these last few weeks in building my online business. The first few weeks were really tough, a lot of learning and tasks to accomplish, but now I am starting to reap the rewards of all my hard work.
The more I progress, the clearer my goal and vision becomes. This whole thing started as a way to supplement our inconsistent household income, the restaurant business is very fickle and was leaving us a bit tight at times. But now I am finding that we can REPLACE and EXCEED our income. All that being said, this has freed me up to start thinking much bigger, not in a financial way but in a philosophical and emotional way. With the knowledge I have, the skills that I have learned, I can really help people. I can lead others down this same path with confidence and integrity. That feels really good.
To be able to ease the stress and strain of daily life and be able to focus on what really matters, family, I can think much more clearly. Some of the things that used to get under my skin about the restaurant don’t seem to bother me anymore because I have a new goal and new aspiration to focus my energy on. I know that I am not stuck in that business and that in time we will either be able to sell it or afford to pay someone to run it for us. Either way is fine with me. As long as it means I can put my daughter to bed every night and her Daddy is around a lot more than he is now.

Howdy, Jess. Great to see what you’ve got going on your web site. You will be happy to know that my wife Daphne and I installed solar panels on our house in January - 27 panels to be exact. These panels can provide for 75-80% of our current electrical use (we are looking at making some changes in what we do to improve that) plus a backup battery that can power our critical home systems for 24 hours in case of a grid outage. Cost was about $45k, with Xcel Energy and the State of Colorado funding about half of the cost with rebates and tax credits. At current kwh prices, our payback is about 13 years. However as the rate/kwh goes up, payback period will be shorter.
In addition, while in New Orleans last November for some post-Katrina volunteer work, we spent some time assisting at a no-kill animal rescue shelter and ended up adopting another dog, our third. We named her Nola. She is a 2-yr. old aussie/heeler/Catahoula mix, weighs about 27 lbs. and is awesome. She provides some fresh energy for Pete, who is now 11 and blind, and Ruby who is in her homestretch at 15 1/2 and ailing.
Pass my greetings on to Matt and hope all is well in your world of beer, food, dogs, kids, etc.
