 Its funny. I once was a CEO and owned 5 businesses at once. Then the plandemic happened. I was told my businesses we're none essential. Had to close all of them down. 

Then I became a stock trader. Achieved an 85%  profit to loss ratio on all my trades for a long time. After discovering that the stock market was rigged and I was not allowed to sell to get out. I got wrecked on expired options and couldn't recover. 

Then I became a real estate agent so I could use my old license. Once had bern used to save money on real estate investments by closing deals my self. Then the greater depression happened, hyper inflation ensued, and no one could afford to buy a house anymore. 

Now here I am. 15+ years experience in multiple industries. With no job. Only nostr zap income for the time being and that is OK. I know in my heart what I earn now by providing quality thought provoking spicy content here. Will be what allows me to retire early. 

I feel like a stoic street philosopher in ancient Greece. Preaching virtuous wisdom for the crowds that pass by. With a tip vase for zaps.

Be patient. Be grateful for new opportunities. Stack sats. Stay humble. Always strive to be virtuous and stoic in all that you do.
