This Year is a Year of CHANGE

I keep hearing that phrase. It's kind of true. Things are changing, and ever-moving.

After settling into life as a cycle commuter in a 9/5 job local to me, my job situation went awry, with the (un/fortunate) result of me being back on the job market. The 'nicest commute in the area' is no more.

The change has, however, given me a renewed sense of self, and a desire to 'go-get' and put myself out there to find the next steps of my career, either as a salaryman or as a more free-roaming creative/entrepreneur. For all the faults that job had, it felt like people were more entreprenurial, scrapping at ideas and side-hustling - being among that 24/7 is quite good for you.

Since leaving, I've had some promising 'big career' job leads, but I've also started a course, am building my online portfolio, creating a local flyer for tutoring/services and networking to find 10 small jobs rather than 1 big job. I've also started thinking about my own business ideas too - and, always, my dream of working in something related to cycling. I've started filming (and learning!) to kickstart a YouTube channel, something i've wanted to do for a long-time, mostly held back by lack of confidence.

For now, it's back to enjoying the good weather, and how fortunate I am to have choices and nice bikes. Ciao.
