How I did it: I'm going into business of myself. So I found the type of job that will allow me freedom on my terms. Because it's a web based business that I'm starting I have freedom from day one. I know my industry oddly enough I'v been on both sides of the service that I will offer. I have a lot of support, a great business advisor, and friends that encourage me all the time. I'm siked, not scared at all. Failure i… Read how I did it…
I’m going into business for myself. My goal is to leave my current job by June this year. THIS YEAR. So, that I’ve found what I want to do is done—check that off, now on to staying the course of getting my business up and running.
I attended three meetings over the last couple of months which is more than I attended in a full year. I’m getting there…
This is truely taking me by surprise…cause in part I’m a little flaky at times. I have these huge lofty goals and very rarely am I able to stick to them-especially over the last couple of years. I feel like I’ve been in some kind of deep under water zone out of sorts. Just not able to be really hold on to my goals. Could be a touch of depression but in any case I am so determined to dig myself out. It isn’t easy though, I have to re determine everyday and some days go by when I’m not as engaged, but holy shit-I’m pretty sure this is going to happen in just a few short months. However, I’m a little scattered about my planning and what to do first, ie, find a domain name, incorporate, business plan…that sort of thing. As such I’m meeting with a SBA counselor today to get feedback on my business plan and to get help with creating a reasonable timeline of things to get done.
Part of the reason I think I'm so focused more than usual is that I really dislike what I do now. I can't see myself doing it for another whole year and what’s more is that I don't want to work for anyone else-- anymore. I'm hard headed and opinionated but usually sharp enough to be right a good amount of the time. I can't stomach having my ideas either stolen or dismissed any longer.I know I’ll make loads of mistakes but I know that I won’t be any worst off than the unhappiness I feel doing work that I don’t ejoy.
So here’s to my leap of faith, finding my voice and nerve and to freedom on my own terms…
