Well, it’s been an interesting few weeks. First of all. I quit my job doing pest control. It was just too much. It was ok for a while and helped Susie and I to get on top of some things financially, but it just got to the point where I couldn’t handle the schedule anymore. It was taking a toll on way too many areas of my life. Most importantly, there was just something inside of me that said I needed to get out of there. I think it was good for me to do for a short while, but that’s it.
And no, I don’t have another job lined up yet. I’ve been taking the past few days to catch up on getting some things done that I have not been able to do all summer. Like register for school. Susie and I are finally in a position financially, I think, that I can really focus on starting to get my school done and overwith. I’m tired of just doing a few classes here and a few classes there. It’s time to buckle down and knock this out. Susie is earning enough money with her job to where I think we’ll be able to afford me doing school full time and just having a part-time job. I’m hoping and praying it works out until I can get school done with.
I can also start focussing on my fishing again. Even with school going on, I will at least have more time to dedicate to it then I have the last couple of months. I’m excited for that. I want to focus on getting a little more exposure for my guiding business. So far I’ve done two trips without really advertising at all. It’s nice to have a little extra money to pay for boat gas and some extra equipment. Both trips went fairly well. You can see a pic from one of them on the front page of the site in the upper right hand corner. That’s one of the kids from the trip holding up a big cat he caught!
I’ve also had a little idea planted in my head this past week that is really starting to grow. I don’t feel like it’s really time to let that cat out of the bag yet, but let’s just say it has to do with fishing and a job. And no, it doesn’t involve tournaments or guiding. It’s nothing I’m jumping into right away, but I do want to start doing some research and figuring out how plausible it will be.
Anyways, I’ll give some more updates as I come up with some ways to promote my guide trips.
