What am I doing?

Well a few of you have called me out for not posting in a minute and I appreciate it.  
Since my last post I have been in Chicago and Dallas for work.  Tomorrow I'm headed to Indiana to attend recruiting events at Kelley.
In between there, I have been working and playing. 
The moral of this story is that it's hard to stay connected.

What I have learned over the last three weeks is that I don't have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
I am going to have to choose a few things in order to create balance in my life. 

Case in point,
I'm managing a band that is based out of Houston.  The band's name is The C.I.T.Y.  (Completely In Tune w/ Yourself).  They are a soul band.  I met them by chance in Houston when I was in between graduation and starting work.  I have fell in love with them and I believe that they will have a super successful career in the music industry because they are that good.  They have that it factor. 
Unfortunately, I am quickly coming to realize that the energy and time needed to be a good manager...hell a mediocre manager...I don't have since I have started my full time gig.  

So now the question:  Do I give up and stop being their manager?   I don't want to, but.....If I don't do better soon, I'm going to have to give this up for now.

And here we have the beginning of the great dilemma that plagues everyone who wants to pursue their dreams....I have to pay the bills and the job that pays the bills demands my time.  I have to take care of myself:  I have moved to a new city and I have to balance work and my personal life.  I can't survive just work work work and no play. But play takes time.  Time I should be using to manage the band's business.  SIGH. 

It all comes down to how will I best be happy spending my time. 
Now mind you, I'm also trying to figure out ways to generate capital so that I can buy the Clippers and move them to Las Vegas, buy a private jet, and be the richest person in the world. 
You think I'm playing cause that sounds ridiculous to you....but while you sleepin' I'm still working.

For those that asked about me...I love and appreciate you.
Stay tuned cause this is The FARE MBA Life!
Love,
FARE
