I know my weakness and this is why my blog is called “Idea Share”. The website name is We Are Midas Print and that will make sense later on but for now, my weakness is I don’t have a niche or specific thing I will just write about. I just live to write and writing saved my life. C****-19 almost killed me but I survived because I have everything to live for my son and family. The only thing on my mind was letting go of the idea that my life wasn’t worth living.
I mean living with a broken heart during a pandemic is unimaginable but I was not alone. I displayed a victim mentality and my near death experience the only thing I said was “ let it go.” Maybe I didn’t have C***** , maybe my heartbreak, stress of dealing with my son’s mother is what drove me to that point, maybe I needed this experience to come to a self realization that the bigger picture to life is seeing outside of a never ending picture frames, engulfing each other every time I realize that there’s always something better to discover outside the frameworks of what we perceive to be our current and/ or fixed reality.
All of this happened 4 years ago, as I reflect on it. There would be no Idea Share or Mideus Print had I not went through all of the chaos because though people that I held dear to me left. I had books, my breath, good health, and my will power.
“Do The Knowledge!” Says Deante Kyle on Eggs and Grits Podcast, I had and still have everything I need to do it. I came up with one great idea and now I have an idea about educating people through sharing ideas. Rather than just complaining about my teacher not making school explorative and creative back in my day. I’ll do it! With initiative and vengeance, nothing against teachers or the school system but this is my conviction.
Writing to learn and my obsession with what I believe I do best at is teaching just about anything that doesn’t deal with crazy math formulas at the moment but that’s a work in progress. I don’t see myself doing anything else and won’t do anything that goes against what I believe in.
Anyone who does that is insane to me. Would you lose it all to get to where you really want to be? Not all at once but in baby steps you lose things only to self actualize that you are going in the right direction.
It’s really a slow burn for me to watch the old me usher in the new me. This type of transformation isn’t done in a year but almost 5 years to build up to this point. What you do is so much more important than how you feel? I didn’t understand this at first until I started to write becoming more assertive and questioning the reality of what this meant. It meant that your vision or dream is centered around delayed gratification and building yourself up to that point.
This could mean acting on ideas pushing to see where they will take you, what ideas can open doors for you, and the unknown wins again in authenticity and originality.
Now what I accomplished in my mental struggle showed me that I have the spirit of Entrepreneurship, of creativity, and perseverance.
I followed through my projects that I felt would give me some experience in what I wanted to add to my resume. ( I learned later that this idea didn’t really increase my chances but makes for a great story)
I did Turo, the car share/ car rental company/ peer to peer? Whatever way it’s described well I did it and named my company Millennium Domain LLC. I pushed to be super host, eventually got to that point, used my own car because it made sense since I had a company vehicle as a pest control technician. It was a great experience working for the company and making enough money to have a little extra money on the side for business… $55? After expenses that’s what Robert Kiyosaki was talking about…
It was definitely not worth the constant detailing and car washing, tire replacements,oil changes, inspections ( which I made most of my money doing finding trash and other things not to mention). Having to Uber to go get my vehicle etc.
What I learned is that I have the ability to follow through and have an exit strategy… transitioning to Airbnb, yes another gig economy , it ends after this though, made a lot of money,spent a lot of money, and I burnt out bad like drag race tires screeching bad! I worked hours upon hours to get 3 times the amount I averaged from Airbnb after expenses and said it was a great experience but my health suffered. I’m done!
Mr. 4 hours of sleep, my idea was a Four work week, but considering I couldn’t sit still for 15 minutes is probably why it took me so long to consider becoming a Teacher. I was in hustle mode complete chaos, no time to study here I’m chasing the money!
I tried everything because I wanted to see where it would take me and this one idea in the mist of it all brought me Mideus Print and Idea Share. Finding out what I truly wanted for myself from a career to business was chaos but I know one thing about it all.
Is the adventure was all worth it because when I feel like giving up I have a story that I tell myself one that I can reflect on is that every goal written down gets accomplished!
