I hate not having money in my business checking account. It worries more than almost anything else. Today is one of those days where I’m praying that deposits go though fast, and cashed checks take a few extra days to process. Yeah, right.
On the edge
I’m really pushing my finances right now in terms of business investment. I’m putting (and have already put) nearly two thousand dollars into my new client in my Plan B project. If it pays off, it could be great, leading quickly to 5-10K in new revenue, and 3-4K in profit. If it doesn’t pan out…then I took a risk and lost.
At least when I “take a risk” now with my money I have some amount of control over it. It is somewhat based on my talents, abilities, skills, ect. Not just some sheer stupid trading god. I bought a banana today (I made tuna sandwiches for lunch). It cost 34 cents. 34 cents! I once lost 20 thousand dollars in one night trading forex. And I had to scrounge to find that 34 cents because I still don’t have a personal checking account up and going yet (I’m waiting for my ATM card in the mail).
Sleeping is good
I’ve been sleeping much better the past few nights. I found a more comfortable pillow positioning. Plus, I’m no longer really paranoid and am much more relaxed sleeping in the office. My goal will be to have some sort of a place by Sept 1. I can do another 6 weeks in the office.
I love writing here
I never thought I would be much of a writer. It was always one of my worst subjects in school. Not that I’m a good writer now…but I enjoy it. It really helps me process what I am thinking and feeling.
What do you think?
Am I overconfident in my new Plan B business venture? Or am I justified in taking some risk because I have to find new ways to make more money? Should I be looking for a place to stay by the end of July, or is another month a good idea?

well I don’t really know what business you’re in, how your business finances are set up, or what Plan B is so it’s hard to say.
Glad you’re feeling better.
p.s. trader joes has 19 cent bananas
Okay to take some risks, as long as you cover the staff pay. How many do you employ?
