I agree, I want to pursue entrepreneurship, but as I said, in the time being I do need a reliable paycheck with benefits.
I will continue to look for value skew etc, I see a lot of my friends trying to be entrepreneurs half-assing sh*t that's basically been done over and over again (drop shipping, FBA, etc). For now, I don't know what to add value to. I know once I find it I can work my a$$ off, but for now I'm reading and trying to work on personal growth.
Short term now I know what I need to do. Definitely appreciate your input, especially from someone who's worked in a prison. And I agree, long term providing better value to society is 100% my goal. I started looking at what you're up to, very inspiring.
Excellent stuff man!
It seems like you've got the right idea as to how you want to approach things.
The job will at least provide you with some income so that you aren't in scarcity/starvation mode.
Use your free time to continue to explore opportunities and continue to network with people outside of the Correctional environment. That is a huge piece of projecting for the future is ensuring that you have strong friendships outside of that environment.
If you want to chat about the job and/or any other details, feel free to private message me and we will exchange contact information.
