need someone to talk to but am ok

hi everyone

am ok just reaching out.

was just wondering how people know and what they experience to know when it may be time to leave job (close that chapter) and move onto another (start the next chapter).

many of you lot know that am at some point wanting to give up hospitality and move onto other things while still capable and be own boss.

sometimes things happen or dont go how you expect and you tell yourself not much longer or something else and to just try and hang on.

will very likely be giving up hospitality as soon as it sells or closes as have other commitments and responsibilities and other work goals and feel after 14 years. nearly 15 that its time to take a break and move on and concentrate on those.

grandparents are needing help and needing to be able to help when needed and have local bingo commitments and want to do other work.

also the boss makes things in her shop and other friends try it and miss out and feel doing your own is only way and that am going to have to spend money that dont really have at moment to buy own kits and gear and supplies.

how do you find friends to share contents with and a place if you dont have your own place just yet without continually booking cabins (still book one maybe every few months but if its every week or fortnight costs add up).

what could you do to find the money.

just trying to hang on until place sells or closes and you keep telling yourself probably wont be much longer and to just hang on.

do feel positive that the other work is going to work out great however could be like a cousin with his shed building business and take a while to pick up.

sometimes you feel a little left out.

what could you do.

when you look up in google clues that a employee is about to leave or is thinking of leaving some sites list getting new certificates and education as one clue.

why would that be a clue when sometimes you can get further education and certificates to benefit your current job or other commitments, because of that you wouldnt think its always a clue.

thanks

hi

was wondering how people know when its time to start own business and be own boss or go up ladder to managers position or both.

been wanting to be own boss for a while and stayed in job too long and waited too long.

​​​​​​​plus haven't yet got all tools and training and dont want to take shortcuts and advertise until all that plus more is in place as you need tools and training and insurances and stuff in place and all that will cost money and will take time and have to do things bit by bit and buy tools and training as money allows and cant and dont want to start advertising until all is in place.

Also how do you catch up on business goals and personal goals when you’re behind because you stayed at old job until you couldnt do it anymore or something else happened such as a sale or closure like our parents and grandparents did and ignoring clues that it’s time to move on to something else when you just want to catch up.

Am doing well just want to catch up a little and am behind because of staying at job too long.

How do you catch up faster. have done a white card training that teaches safety and how to fill out incident reports and how to read the signs and the ppe to wear to hopefully be in a better position later.

even though will only be doing handyman jobs and putting up antennas on new builds and testing and repairing tradies power tools you still got to have a white card.

once finances get better or everything else is paid for and have caught up then will look in to first aid training which will benefit things later too.

nothing is yet in place with the work goals because may need more training and will need tools and theyll all cost money and cant have it all at once, how do you get as far ahead as your cousin did with his shed installing business with your goals.

what can you do to do a few things now with less insurance and training without having all that in place (just until you have everything needed) to have that feeling of being your own boss where you might do a couple things now and then on side for people.

heard of people building things and selling them or finding things at op shops and off side of road and cleaning them up and selling them. how do you get your stuff on ebay and gumtree to sell and attract viewers and buyers,

where else can you sell your stuff to if you dont have anywhere at moment to have garage sales or just a place to sell your stuff.

thanks

hi everyone

how yous all going.

was also wondering how and where you could find more and different friends where you go out for meals and take turns organising, it seems in the current group that its always someone else that does the organising and would like to have a turn and the only friends you got are too busy when you want to do it (though havent asked yet) and it would be nice to have more friends where you do things and go out for meals with and take turns organising.

have thought of meetup site but yet to try it.

what could be done to make it happen instant.

am glad to finally be out hospitality where you can finally have a life, though what are clues that its time to be your own boss or move on to a different job and why dont people hang on just a little longer like they used to before finally moving on.

things are looking better now that am out of hospitality but however accepted that not everything is going to happen overnight and its not going to quickly fall into place.

how would you organise a catchup without being a events manager or without being a boss or head of a committee of a local club or without having to rush into friendships.

when asking a cousin a while back why marriages and partners dont work out like they used to, he thinks because most today want everything now and rush into things, would that be right or is it because we live in a throw away time and people sadly treat partners as disposable where you dont fix it if it breaks, it is sad people see it that way as its not way to look at it. 

Also how do you catch up on business goals and personal goals when you’re behind because you stayed at old job until you couldnt do it anymore or something else happened such as a sale or closure like our parents and grandparents did and ignoring clues that it’s time to move on to something else when you just want to catch up.

Am doing well just want to catch up a little and am behind because of staying at job too long.

How do you catch up faster.

Hi Car1001,

Vehicles seem to be your natural interest where you have skills. Why not volunteer for a bit at a mechanic - you'll meet like-minded people and develop a network and may even get work! 

Also, you have a white card. Traffic control companies such as WARP Traffic Management are always looking for people to hold a Stop Slow sign at road works. It's pretty good money and not too stressful. People from all walks of life do this. 

Staying in a job you don't like is impossible. Take time out. Work on your car. Take the pressure off yourself a bit by focusing on your car and what you can afford to do with your Centrelink, even if only $50 a week, having the purpose and seeing slow progress will life your spirits. You may find friends and family start being there when you need/want. Your car sounds like a great project you can control and manage. I'd start with that. Day by day, bit by bit. 

Put aside thoughts of "catching up" etc. That just puts too much pressure on yourself. There's no need. Once you find a purpose and focus, the rest will follow. Your car sounds like the prefect start.

Also, give WARP a call.   

Let us know how you get on.

OMD.
