Questions

I'd love to have a full-time job to support myself while I build my music startup, but most of my potential employers in the area know that I am working on my own company as well. I completed a code bootcamp last year and have loved learning and becoming a better developer over the last year, so I'd love to work somewhere that I can continue learning, but I am also committed to taking a proper swing with my own startup. Do I look for jobs and let potential employers know I am working on my own startup? Perhaps shop for a short term contract? Or should I just try to find some investment and go full tilt at my startup? I have access to enough funding to get our MVP built so that I can demo and pitch potential investors. I am nearing the bottom of my savings, but don't have a family to support. I don't mind living on the bare minimum for a bit while I build this thing.

Hi Bro,

What you are imagining is the the "Key" to what you are experiencing and your success.

Your desire, from what you have written, is:

You are the owner of a thriving music related business and you "love learning" and developing it.

What you are focusing your thought and energy into (and thereby creating in your life) is:

"no job and no savings"
"but most of my potential employers in the area know that I am working on my own company"
"I am nearing the bottom of my savings"
"I don't mind living on the bare minimum for a bit while I build this thing"

These are probably your most emotional issues currently and what you are currently attracting more of...

What you think you would like is this:

"I'd love to have a full-time job to support myself while I build my music startup"

But what you really desire is this:

I am the owner of a thriving music related business and you "love learning" and developing it.

SOLUTION:

1) Use your imagination to get EXTREMELY clear in your mind on what you will BE experiencing as the owner and running your wonderful venture (it's no longer new - it is already running successfully).
2) Focus on this daily. Imagine it as REAL now.
3) Take daily inspired steps towards achieving your desire.
4) Take the "Most Appropriate" job that will allow you to focus daily on your desire.
5) Tell no one. (especially not employers) what you are doing. Allow it to unfold

Hold your vision in your mind and close to your heart and it will manifest into your life. All that you require (investors etc) will present themselves as "opportunities" at the appropriate time.

If you would like help getting clear and learning to use your imagination effectively please consider a call.

Blessings!

- Carl
