At some point, I'll turn on a micro-blog stream also.

I seem to be beginning my entrepreneurial ventures. It's not quite defined yet, but it's in motion and developing right now. Business cards are under design. A separate professional website may be forthcoming.
Consulting and services. I've got a wide range of skills and experience, and want to apply these skills in the service of my fellows. Often, the service I can perform for the brotherhood of man is best done as casual acts over the course of the day, and some possibilities are in the form of volunteerism. Some of the ways I can help people are best organized in a business fashion; presenting myself as a professional, and charging for various services rendered.

I'm still developing the full list of job titles, but the summary is Renaissance man. What can this jack of all trades do for you?

Web designer, content manager, server developer, computer setup and maintenance, driver, artist, chef, cook, dishwasher, photographer, deliveryman, camera man, janitor, educator, video editor, horticulturist, theologian, historian, physicist, biologist, botanist, speaker, landscaper, architect, energy medicine man, martial artist, personal shopper, writer, poet, singer, vocalist, musical improvisor, merchant...

An incomplete list, poured out from the near-surface of my mind. It will be expanded, reorganized, and edited before the cards are printed. Is this bravado? Overconfidence? Or can I really set myself up as one to deal with for a wide variety of services, available on call or by appointment, depending. My core offerings could be more well defined, but really it depends on the needs of those I serve. I'm a person person, even though I'm somewhat introverted. I want to be able to be of service the best that I can. This is a clearer definition of one avenue by which I approach that goal.

Service-motive is a spiritual evolution which transcends and supersedes profit motive to some extent, in varying degrees. I still need to make a living for myself, provide for the future. Our Father will provide, but the IRS will still want their cut of the income when I make money by way of self-employment.

My wave of the future? At present time, I'm still working a job, rather fun as such jobs go, but distant from home and paying poorly for the hours and dedication put into it. The past pattern cannot hold; some change in my work-home-life arrangements must be made, and decisions about where to live and work and be are extremely important right now. Do I set too much pressure on such decisions? hard to say when I'm not sure I've made my decision yet. Unless I have, and it simply hasn't boiled all the way to conscious area of my mind yet. I will consider my options and opportunities, pray for clarity as to the leadings of the indwelling spirit, and serve that love with all my heart and all my soul and all my strength.
