Spin.

(1 minute read.)

Progress?

Amid continuing self-doubt, I continue to try to think more positively (and realistically) about what I'm doing.

But it's not easy, and I'm not quite ready to give up my position in the queue for 'world's worst entrepreneur' award.

So my revised view should be…

In returning to business after a lengthy timeout following a significant burnout, I've thought carefully about what to do, and am getting on with it.

I'm building a small publisher—text and audio, books and websites.

I currently have a variety of titles in development, for which the topics are:

  • Business.
  • Personal & professional development.
  • Progressive living and societal issues.

With appropriate technology and outsourcing, fixed and variable costs are relatively minimal. And, certainly initially, I can operate this solo.

With increasing clarity and self-confidence, my health continues to improve, and I shall soon be able to launch.

There… that sounds good. Sensible, and better than the largely unrestrained and unmitigated fiasco that comprises much of my stuff.

Seriously though, my overall objective and strategy is right. I think.

I'll not deny having made significant screw-ups during the past year as I ease myself back into things. I've taken on more than I should've and made poor choices on some projects, which I've since discontinued. And with it, wasted a not inconsiderable amount of money on associated domains.

This hurts—genuinely painful, literally physically.

An ongoing consequence of burnout, my lack of self-confidence has been a significant issue.

And, in recent years, money's been tight. I don't have it to waste.

However, my commercial activity *is* improving. So that's good. And, if I can fix my catastrophically unhappy personal life (which of course significantly affects what I do commercially), things'll be better.
