[size=12pt]Since I placed my order about a month ago for some JH16's alot of things have happened in my life that make me want to do what I love to do more than ever and that is mixing sound and making music. I have no one locally that I know of to ask for advice so I decided to make a thread hoping in getting a response from someone successful in the audio field given that this is an audiophile forum or just tips in general to be successful in a field you love. Not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this so moderators feel free to move this where appropriate.[/size]

[size=small]It all started about a month ago when I ordered my first custom ever after reading about how great JH audio products are for several years and enjoying my triple fis. Needless to say I was very excited about the purchase and looking forward to enjoying my favorite hobby more than ever even though it did take a great deal of working to purchase them. I was also very excited to spend the following days with my family enjoying the holidays. God seemed to have other plans. Three of my family members, two uncles and my grandpa, were hospitalized so I got someone to cover my shifts at work so I could be there for them. I got to spend Christmas eve with my grandpa healthy with the family but I got sick so I couldnt spend Christmas or the following days until his passing away on the 28. So that really affected me. By new years eve the initial sadness of a lost loved one is slowly starting to heal with all the family together supporting each other celebrating the start of a new year. The next day on new years I had to work then I received a call from my mom giving me the news that my uncle in Mexico has passed away. I tried to speak to a manager so they can know whats going on and that I have to leave but the first manager just starts asking me questions like why cant you just stay 1 more hour to finish your shift and what did he die of and will I be able to work tomorrow after writing me up for not working even though I covered my shift to be with my hospitalized family members. Luckily another manager was more understanding and let me leave. That really made me think about the kind of life I want to be living given how my managers treated me in a moment of crisis they were not very understanding and I dont want to work for someone like that. My uncle was also very young only 27 and had just started his own business and was doing very good. That also got me thinking on whether I will have enough time to fulfill my dreams given that he is only 5 years older so I needed to start as soon as possible. Owning my own business is a dream of mine to have to flexibility to make it an enjoyable environment[size=small] and be able to spend time with my family.But for now owning a business is too far out of reach perhaps using my investment in a pair JH16 to mix sound somewhere is a more reachable goal to do what I enjoy doing for a living and helping my family with all the hospital and funeral costs and eventually making my own band. Is there any tips yall may have to help me get on the path to being successful doing what I love to help my family? I'm still excited to receive the JH16's soon even though the joy is bitter sweet. I thank JH audio for bringing some joy to these holidays and thank you everyone who took the time to read this and/or respond to it.[/size][/size]
