I have been self-employed for close to 30 years. I have had multiple businesses, some I stayed in for too long and some I may have quit earlier than I should. I am looking to spread some knowledge, but need specific questions so that I can answer them truthfully and show you what could have been done differently. Basically I want to use the knowledge I have gained to show you how not to do it.

Do you see any patterns in yourself for the times you were in a state of flow, and really happy and successful? Where things came easily to you and money flowed in.

What do you think triggered the good times?

Money flowed in when times were good and my mindset was positive. Having set goals helps, but here is the thing when politicians make dumb statement, work can dry up in a heartbeat.

I live in Africa and politicians statements can fuck everything up in days you can go from surplus because the world is a positive place, to wondering where the next meal is going to come from.

Uncertainty in the political arena, lack of faith in the economy are all negative indicators. Elections seem to bring out the worst in politicians.
