Building a Business to Replace My Pilot Income

[FJ123]

Thank you for this. I agree with you. The only thing I'd say is that these top two points are just temporary.

Financially speaking, I just felt I wasn't managing things so well. My plan is to invest a bit of time now, so that I don't have to think too much about it later.

For the language exam, it's just something that I want to do in order to get a job in another airline as a pilot. It'll be a few months of effort, but once it's done I'll have a certificate and be able to apply for the job when they open.

Running is just a hobby of mine and I find it really helps keep me in shape considering how much time I spend sitting at work somedays. I already ran a marathon this year, but yeah you're right, I'm willing to drop long distances races and just maintain my fitness through casual running and gym.

Generally, don't tell people what you're doing because it can mess with your head. If you have conviction that this is the right thing to do then go for it - focus all your energy on the objective. Just because I don't get it, doesn't mean it's the wrong thing to do.

That being said... I don't get it.

I don't understand the financial thing. That energy could go into running the business.
The language thing... unless you're at B2 already it's a massive time investment.
Running is okay I think. Exercise gives you energy and helps you clear your head.

You're already working every hour under the sun on your day job. The business needs some focus too?

Now, just because I don't get it does not mean you're on the wrong path. You know your situation better than I do.
Perhaps deep down, you know this set of skills (language, finance, running) will coalesce into something more - and that will super accelerate you to the fast lane. Perhaps...

Anyway, I wish you the best.
