 Hey, this is Mitch Mitchell, and I'm talking to you today because I haven't done a video for this channel in a couple of weeks I actually did an interview on my business channel with a guy named William Eric Lindsey Which I'm going to link to here. So if you're interested in checking him out He's a business coach with a company called Action Coach And I found him to be a very interesting guy and maybe you will too you might get some good stuff out of it I certainly did and I really needed it because lately I'm kind of in one of those weird states of flux that is Disappointing to me because usually I'm a little better directed Then I seem to be these days and it's just really bothering me And I figured you know what I would put out this little video here kind of tell you that you know what's going on with me and Maybe you guys can offer some suggestions And it may be the kind of thing where maybe you're in the same boat as I'm in and it lets you know that you're not the only one So here's the issue number one It's taking me longer than I thought it would to get my next contract. That's just sometimes how it goes now I had this good long contract where I worked in Memphis and Pretty much one of the problems you have with a long contract is that once you're done You have to try to reestablish yourself and in my main field, which is healthcare finance You know a lot of those people are gone so I'm having some difficulties and Also, one of the problems I have is that I mainly work with hospitals and hospitals aren't close together It's not like you have like 40 or 50 hospitals in a city So I have to pretty much stretch out a good long way And I can't just hop in the car and go visit hospitals in Ohio and Connecticut and New Jersey or you know Anywhere else because I'm right here in Central New York and you know I can visit the hospitals here, but the folks here know me already and there's that thing about being too close Where people if you're in the same town, they don't think you know what you're doing. I Don't get it, you know, I helped the hospital make seven hundred and thirty million dollars in one year and locally They say it but you're just a local guy Idiocy So I'm having that issue. I'm having an issue because I'm not really sure any more how to get speaking engagements I've spoken in nine states, but probably since 2006 or 2007 I haven't left New York. It's been a long time. I've given presentations locally But nowhere else and I need to get that going. I want to do a webinar I'm not sure what to do the webinar in because I'm not sure who would come and that may sound kind of weird So I'll let you know that you know, there's some subjects that I know in health care And the thing is I know that if I could reach certain people I could get people to come But it's hard reaching those people. I think I could talk about blogging But at what point do I start intermediate? Do I start at the beginning and who would come it? You know, I don't know because I don't want to do them all for free. I want to make some money off of it I can do tons of different subjects, but I'm not sure what people want to hear and I could say well You know what? I'll see what people respond to on the videos But you know, it's like the numbers have kind of gone down. So you're not really sure who's watching videos Yeah, I'm gonna keep putting them out there until I you know, who knows? I mean end up being an underground success one of these days, you know, maybe I'll be like Picasso who had to wait until he was dead before all of a sudden people say hey This guy's a genius, which I still don't understand. But okay, that's me So I'm in that state of flux. I'm in the state of flux because We once again have had a little bit of winter damage to the house and last year We had all this money coming in so we paid cash for everything Okay, you have to write a check because some folks won't accept cash But we paid for everything out of hand. We didn't use any credit. So here we are this year We have some other damage, but we just don't have it right now, you know I mean my money right now is in that state where it's kind of all going out I don't have anything new really coming in. So therefore I can't just dip into my money and pay it all off like we did last year and This year we're going to end up owing some something on taxes Not a bunch, but we're gonna end up owing a little bit of something. So, you know, that's just how life is So, you know, I get into that state sometimes where I just don't know what to do and it's been a rough winter We here in central New York We're not gonna break our snow record, but we had the coldest February on in history here And we had the second snowiest February in history, which means we didn't have a lot of sun As a matter of fact, the one of the funniest things is my wife came home this weekend because she's been working out of town She came home this weekend for a quick trip and she left early this morning And I was still in bed and so I get up and I walked into the kitchen as they what's wrong with the kitchen? Something's wrong here. Something's different what it happened. She had opened up the blinds. I forgot there were blinds in the kitchen I'm in the kitchen every day, but I never opened the blinds. I never even thought about it But then again, the Sun was out today and we haven't had a lot of Sun So I feel like I'm out of practice So I'm just kind of all thrown off and I don't feel like me these days And I'm not really sure what to do and this may seem a little whiny But you know what sometimes you just got to put it out there and tell it like it is I know I'm not alone in this kind of thing You know, I've been talking to a couple of my other friends and some of them are feeling the exact same way like they're not really sure what direction they want to go in and You know things they've been doing they are either tired of that or it hasn't been producing what they want and You know, it's not necessarily always easy being an entrepreneur as a matter of fact No one ever has said it's easy But it's one of those kind of things where you can try to work as hard as you want to as far as Finding me people, you know, if you really get down to it and if you can get the necessary courage to do it Right and it takes a lot of courage because it can be painful I mean, that's one of the things that Eric said in the interview last week and it can be painful trying to get new clients, but it can be so fruitful if you get them and You have a little bit more control over your life even when you don't feel like you have any control over your life So this is the state I'm in right now. I'm not really sure just where I want to go and So I'm asking you guys a couple of questions if anyone wants to respond to this one Is this a feeling you go through to if it is what do you do about it or do you do anything about it and three knowing that there's a lot of things I can do if If you were going to pay for a webinar, what would you like to know? Now, I'm not saying that I know everything in the world if you say well, I want to know about car repair You know what? I'm not gonna be the guy I know nothing about cars if you're gonna talk about mountain climbing I'm gonna say no go watch one of those other guys who does that because I don't do that but if you want something about social media if you want something about blogging if you want to know something about medical billing if you want to know something about leadership if you want to talk diversity if you Want to talk about? No, I don't know Let's talk. Let's find out. You know, I've got a bunch of videos on this channel And I have a bunch of videos on my other channel which I'll put a link to so you can go You know see what I talk about over there and if there's any of those things let me know and Who knows and me put up a webinar and charge you guys a little bit of money just to get things going and see What's going on? I might even do a free one. I've done a free one as a matter of fact I'm gonna kind of link to it. I did a free one was it last year year and a half ago on Blogging and I'm gonna link to that here so you can go check that out. See how that went It was during a Google hangout and I thought it was kind of fun. So there you go. Anyway, this is Mitch Mitchell I'm sitting closer To the monitor this time and the camera then I usually do I usually sit back But sometimes I think I'm yelling at the camera. I don't want to do that. So let me know your thoughts Hope y'all have a great day
