Small hiccup – I quit my day job, somewhat ahead of schedule and well short of my goal. About $100K short.!
Still, I’m not sorry. I spent all this time thinking about working for myself and financial freedom and travelling to Europe and all I kept coming back to was how wonderful it would feel to quit. And, oh it was too.
Course now it doesn’t feel so great, what with the unemployment and all.
But I don’t regret it. Before I took this job I felt devastated. I had to admit that my Internet business was going nowhere, that I had no more drive to move forward. I felt like such a failure. Worse I foresaw how awful it would be to be chained to a desk, doing things I didn’t want to do, dealing with people I didn’t like. And that is exactly how it was. Ironically taking the job made me feel like even more of a failure.
I want to have my $100,000 and I really, really want to go to England. I can’t keep hold of that dream if I’m miserable every day.
So … now I have an added complication of having to find some way to cover my living expenses as well as building a successful blog.
Funny really, but mostly I feel happy and excited.
