Life of a nomad

Thank you for taking the time to view my blog. I am what you may refer to as a lost soul, I have dreams, ambitions but I still LACK the dream job. I love where I live and what I do for work. I can do it for extended periods of time. But in the end, my life revolves around discovery. If I had lived 200 years ago, I would have been an explorer. I love the sense of adventure and the feeling of being completely lost in another world of language, smells and sights. I have traveled extensively for nearly 7 years but there is still 155 more countries in the world for me to visit. Maybe if one day I said I was going to set off and complete 100 countries in 2 years, who would want to know about this. Would someone follow this story, want to document it and perhaps write a book... I love life and I live it to its limits. There must we a shiny object at the end of the tunnel for me... I am sure of it...

New Year, new direction...

People always ask you what your new years resolution will be... I didn't think I had one, until I had a complete brain explosion I would like to almost refer to it as an epiphany which shone down from above like a beacon from the heavens.
I could almost hear the sound of a voice calling my name, and telling me ' Tim, this year is your year to take charge and make a difference'. It was actually a commercial I overheard about some bank account package, but thats aside the point people, something was telling me this is my year, and you know what, I refuse to ignore it. I am continuing with my belief of positive mind, positive behavior creates positive outcomes. Proactive steps with a positive optimistic mind create positive results. If I keep telling myself this, then perhaps something might happen.

I am in the process now, working very hard finally at the Bar I mentioned a few weeks back 'the red square'. Okay so here is my story so far... I work at the bar at the moment about 5 days per week which is fine by me. I have since been hired by 2 other places and offered casual work with a third party company so thats 4 jobs. In the space of 2 weeks mind you, from nothing.. and I mean I had to borrow money to move into my apartment, I was living off noodles and coffee for 2 weeks poor. But now, I am earning good tips and keeping above float. Today I had positive news from the owner of my bar, wanting to offer me a management position, which would be great for me to partake in to further gain management skills, earn more money and also have the chance to learn a thing or two about running a business. This said, leads me into my next idea, which remembering my epiphany moment earlier, I realized I am ready and no better time in my life to start a business of my own in the coming year. Why not?? I am surrounding myself with knowledgeable, successful entrepreneurs learning the tricks of the trade in hopes that I could bring my own idea into a business idea and allow a love of mine to make money for me as well.

I am in the process of building a business plan and getting prepared to run it by some people that may be able to help me in the right direction and offer advice, and possibly provide connections to future partners. The idea is at fetal stage but I am adding growth hormones and water and waiting to see what happens when I bring a little light to it. I got my knickers in a knot, forgot what I am capable of and it just needed a little pick me up my go go juice to make me realize that I am capable of doing great things provided I stay positive, keep the doors open and take risks... Because in the end, if you don't take the risk, push the envelope, or open that door, you won't know what is on the other side... Watch this space people....
