So after many months of thought and work, I'm closing my brick and mortar fitness business. Beginning of next year. Very sad, had an office and everything made a go of it for 5 years. Deciding to move also next year so now what?
I just don't think I'm going to be able to adjust to some dumb@$$ telling me I was 5 minutes late clocking in or timing me for coffee or bathroom breaks. Not after being my own boss. I don't think I can handle a rude customer without telling them to get lost either. Could be a rough year.
Won't have any money to start a new business. I don't really have a great resume or any Hi tech skills so It looks like it will be minimum wage until I can figure something out or some menial restaurant construction laborer job.
Sounds pretty dismal and depressing. Not sure what to do. Any ideas? Lack of money being the key so that leaves out trade schools and college. I'm over 5o so that's not a fun prospect either. I'll also be battling agism.
I realize I sound like a whiny man baby. Sorry. But in all seriousness. What would you guys do? Reading Chris Guillebeau book Side hustle in the meantime.
Thanks!
