Well today instead of another travelling post I'll be talking about some unexpected news that came to me yesterday. I haven't been sacked or anything but regardless, from next week I'm officially jobless. As some of you may know I've been working as a poker dealer in a private members club for the past two and a half years. This job has givven me a lot of different emotions and memories to keep but the council decided to visit us a week ago and well.. they want to regulate things a lot more. They want the club to stop with the poker and go the social club way with pool tables/darts etc... Eventually in the future they may include a little bit of poker as a side thing. If these requirements aren't met in the very near future - the club would be shut. It isn't even common knowledge yet and not all the staff knows about this but there would be no need for me or any other dealers any time soon, if ever. That's how my steady job that was bringing me quite good income is suddenly gone. With that my plans for moving to Thailand are probably going to be pulled closer and I may be moving sooner than I was planning to.
So what now?
So what does someone do after he suddenly loses a job? Updates the CV, goes on all the web sites looking for job offers and puts himself on the market. I have slightly different plans though. With the savings I have left from working and thanks to crypto I'll be able to sustain for a couple of months at least.
Thanks EOS! It's been a good run!
I plan on being a lot more active on Steemit. Try and post everyday.. since well I won't have anything to do anyways. Cutting 70 hours a week from the schedule all of a sudden makes space for so much more. Steem is one of my top priorities since I've been here for almost a year and I quite like the environment.
Get my trading game on. I've been trading, hodling and reading a lot but never really had the time to invest into this since I was always doing other things predominantly. Now I got time to explore that and enough crypto accumulated to tingle with it.
Get my PT and Nutritionist training done! Finally got a reassessment date for my level 3 Personal Training exam. First one my client got ill on the date so couldn't attend and I had to wait for 6 months to get that new one. I have to work with a new person so all of the paper work will be redone but I'll have the time for this now. I'll be working with my friend Archie for the next month or so and maybe continue after. Would most likely write posts about our progress and work there.
Get on social media and start accumulating online authority for my fitness and nutrition business. As this is what I plan to do once I move to Thailand it is time for me to start and hustle a bit so I can build that audience.
Final thoughts on the subject
Now while this isn't something I was expecting at all and it came to me as a shock.. I think it did come in the right time. I was stressing about all the things I had on my mind this month with my assessment coming in, with the trading I wanted to get more involved into and the Social media influence I need to build for my future business. Now I'll have all of the time in the world to do it and be more active on Steem in the same time. I was so concerned about starting to work in a gym since my pay would've been so much less than what I was earning until now.. Now that I don't have that income anymore that barrier is completely gone. As people say only time will tell what is going to happen. Thanks for reading and I hope you'll be seeing me more often from now on!
