Well, I found out about a week 1/2 ago I was highly eligible for about 250-300k in Grants due to my What IDMS does that I just don't even offer for local services. Plus While I'm still doing art and branding and all of that but I'm shifting to about 60% of the company to technology based as a project I started about 6 months ago may be a gold mine.
So while I'm not overly happy with my dream being shattered, and my trust in people being non-existent now due to my last local client, I am a phoenix, Can't kill me, I just rise from the Ashes Reborn burning hotter than before.
I'm still just more saddened by some things, but it was the kick I needed to stop wasting my potential. It cause all I can figure out is a burn out phase. Nothing that I won't shake but it's enough to just remind me of goals. And pointless non-existent drama is not that.
I still got some qc work, but I won't be doing full service, it will be service/product/need specific, and I'm no longer doing apparel for sale. I have my Infamous AF line that is on sale at several places but I can't see me wanting to even try anymore, and I prefer being fancy with vinyl work and mixing in printing.
But at this point I have no more active local clients, besides in the cities, so the bit less of stress has helped make things clearer.
