Should i renew my self hosted website?
I am a freelance writer and I have my self - hosted website “With Love,Floxy” The domain hosting is due to expire on the 24th April and I am not sure if I should renew the hosting as my website does not have much of my writing portfolio considering I ghost write articles for people therefore confidentiality of articles.
Really in a fix about this and yes, I am aware that the future for maintaining an online presence is now but what is the point of having a website if I can’t upload updated writing samples of my work.
Needing some guidance on this. Thanks #workfromhome #motivation

Former Independent Owner Operator
Consistent and routine service to your stores and freshness of the product are key to good sales

Operating your own business is a risky business.
Jobcase provided a link for me to describe my experience working for Sanders Concrete Service in San Angelo TX.
Well ,I owned and operated
SCS about 8 or 9 years as sole proprietor. The experience was bad. The work was there and I was raised up in this business as many concrete people are,the best ones did it as a young kid with their family growing up,in my humble opinion.
The work is extremely labor intensive and I have to say that the help is hard to find and when yout in this business it is a very stressful situation at times . I am not going to sit here and whine about the work ,I knew whst I was gettin myself intoand I was just trying to make a future as i was a new father and at 30 years old I was ready to step up to the next level in my life to be a responsible man that took care of his own .I supported two households and I stopped any and all extracurricular activities and if i was doing anything it was associated with gerting a job done sobi coukd start the next one. Im 49 years old now, i have a back problem that wont allow me to do the work as i was once able to do. And every three months i was broke,for the first two years i was working my tail off and when it came time to pay qaurterly taxes sometimes i didnt have enough in the bank to even cover it. And i woukd start over every qaurter. I never ,screwed over a customer or an employee.although im sure that some thiught i was jyst making money hand over fist ,and i had several incidents of thedt . Now i had chikdren to provide for from a dysfunctional relationship and my personal life was not a good experience that I would have ever seen coming. Now, im not able to pour concrete,i dant commit to even go help day work as my back is always on the cusp of going out. And i have a horrible issue with taxes. I have nothing to show for my effort except for the work that is standing up to this day . It takes money,and they are doing their darndest to keep a poor man poor,and its criminal how the tax code is written, but guess who is in legal trouble? I hate my life and i want to die sometimes thanks to the goid ole IRS.

Something great I learned at my job was
It was a great learning experience as to working with alot of different people and it gave me confidence to be my own boss and build my own business which was great I learned how to schedule and reschedule appointments to make people happy I had a great work ethics with my clientel for 20+ years

Following my Masters Degree to an Apprentice Opera Singer in Santa Fe, to teaching at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, to an Ensemble member at the Lyric Opera of Chicago to singing Opera Internationally for 17 years to again teaching at Northwestern University to now owning my own business Dinky Delights, Inc. I have followed my passion to offer the best that I can in everything I do. I have many work years ahead of me and am looking for another opportunity and challenge. As the owner/operator of a pop up Hot & Fresh Donut business for the last 8 years in the City of Chicago I am looking to share my performance, teaching and business skill set to others. I am proud of my accomplishments in my job history. I am willing to take risks and I am willing to offer my experience.

Seeking some advise
Anyone have any suggestions for an entrepreneur who is looking to re-enter the job market? I have sent out resumes with no responses.

Safety in Developing your own Businesses
In 2020, I have made a commitment to lay the foundation for having my own lucrative businesses. Some necessary steps were paying off debt, increasing my credit score, networking with successful investors and picking a business of interest, and sticking to it until it’s lucrative and opens up opportunities for others. Some of the business ventures I am into and developing is real estate, non-profit, motivational speaking and a clothing line. I wish you all the best in all your business endeavors!
