Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity

Depending on who you speak to, opportunity either comes a knockin’ rarely or every day. Well, an opportunity came walking my way about 2 months ago now and is the result for the Dead Air on Ditch the Office of late.
Rather than a rock solid business opportunity, I’ve been handed time. That’s right, time. My wife recently took a job that required we relocate from Sydney, Australia to Melbourne, Australia and my existing employer didn’t exist in Melbourne. So, what to do? Get back on the job market? Search for some contract work?
After some discussion, we decided that it would be good if I could dedicate some time to getting some of my initiatives off the ground. It had nothing to do with me campaigning for it. Nothing at all. I’m sure Jody is enjoying the breakfast and coffee deal that she’s now getting as well.
And no, I don’t really consider this to be the realisation of the goal to Ditch the Office even though technically that’s the case. I think that I need to be actually earning some cash to fund my high flying lifestyle before I can truly say that I’ve achieved the goal. Shame really.
Either way, everyone says the same thing now. “That’s a great opportunity” and “you should grab it with both hands”. Well, that’s what I intend to do, once I can get my hands away from blowing my nose with this damn cold*…
