Home Business Experience..You Don't Want To Miss This Fishing Trip Analogy

Home Business Experience...you don’t want to miss this fishing trip analogy

Recently I had the good fortune to be part of my family’s fishing expedition. The experiences offered many lessons for the home business entrepreneur whether just looking for an opportunity or just starting or deeply involved. Fishing is such a great analogy to weathering life’s choices...but without vision and effort there can be no results.


What if I had decided not to go on this trip based on a dozen excuses why I didn’t want to go..too expensive, too far, no skills, no time, too old, too many variables..what if the weather turned stormy? These trials and tribulations, successes and memories would not exist for me today. The pictures you can view on my facebook profile would not exist to share.

The greater the pity for loss of no effort..the greater the lesson in believing you can do it.
JUST DO IT..whether a fishing trip or a home business..but do it by planning and knowing you can be successful.

THE IDEA…my brother read about this fishing resort and special discount at the end of the season…never experienced Ocean Fishing before..the reports were great about excellent catches, so why not try a family trip…planned 3 months in advance

THE PREPARATIONS... Follow company’s procedures for a 4 day trip, obtain licenses, reserve accomodations, prepare personal belongings, travel to destination…9 hour drive plus ferry journey to Eagles Nest, lovely bed and breakfast location…another 4 hour mountainous drive to picturesque Uculet Inlet.

THE START... 4:30 AM buffet breakfast... 6:00 AM Departure every day... follow the “feed ball” that salmon and halibut also follow...a two-hour boat trip to reach “feeding shelf” about 200 feet down...actual fishing time was about 2 and a half hours to ensure return trip back on time to docks…all fishing rods and bait set, safety regulations reviewed.

THE EXPERIENCE...went out four days and other than the first morning...the weather held steady with lots of sunshine, brisk sea breeze, and brilliant white clouds...basic method was jigging or mooching one stop at a time...interesting interactions with 20 other people, many with no experience, all flipping and running lines...but nothing unmanageable or quickly untangled..a marvelous on-deck multi-talented crew...there was always someone to help

THE SUCCESS..29 salmon and 44 halibut.

THE PROBLEMS...the first morning was touch and go as to whether the boat would even go out...
swells were 15 feet high...other fishing boats disappeared into “troughs”...too difficult to hold both rod and railing...least amount of fish caught...a few sea sick...so glad to see the docks…don’t want to do this again..however…let’s try one more time.
The last morning...drenching rain on the docks...don’t want to go out but got to support the team and it turned out brilliant and calmest once we were out to the open ocean

THE EXTRAS...watching an early morning hazy, golden sunrise on vast ocean waters…seeing gray whales arch against the steely blue and wave their gigantic tails…visiting Long Beach and to watch the surf…visiting the primeval, magnificent Cathedral Forest…great camaraderie..shared meals, drinks, laughter, tall tale stories of the ones that caught away... wouldnt want to miss this trip in hindsight

RELATION TO HOME BUSINESS

A home business starts with an idea…your vision is do something better for you and your family. You get help in making preparations…plan to follow a clear map of what you need and what to do. Follow necessary steps.
Of course, at first, you need to learn and practice the techniques, the conversations.
You will cast your line out many more times with no strikes knowing there are vast numbers of people also interested in natural health and extra income.
Of course, you must expect problems..there will be times when you may doubt your sanity as your emotions and results ride high and low without a steady balance.

But what if, you never venture from the shore..playing safe covered by a dozen excuses?
What if, you miss out on the adventure..the dream of success?
