For Better or Worse: I'm out on my own :)

One of the biggest questions each entrepreneur will ask himself/herself in their entire life is... When do I quit my full time job... it's a question I've been struggling for a long time. Some people will argue, quit as soon as you can so you can lead a happy life sooner, and I agree yet I'm a cautious person... I belie in balance and getting to your goals slowly but surely. One of the biggest things that kept pushing me to quit was thinking that I was building a business on the side working 2-3 hours a day and weekends and I was making some decent money and how much faster I could expand if I focused on it 40 hours a week. There is a few reasons why I didn't take the plunge:

Not enough savings

My sites weren't bringing in a full salary

We've just bought a condo, last year and one just a month ago

Scared Shitless ;)

Well, ready or not.. I'm happy to announce that as of Jun 30th, 2008 I am self-employed. My company where I worked got bought out and we were handed a package, not a minute too soon since I was not enjoying working full time for someone else. Funny enough the same day we were told we were out of jobs I was signing my mortgage papers for a 3rd property we just purchased, now if that doesn't give you enough motivation I don't know what will :) It's now 3rd week of my self employment and I'm doing great, I'll be posting more posts about how I got to the point I'm at now and my strategies for the future. And this time, yes I am going to be posting much more often then in the past. I know it's been a very long time since my last post and I want to apologize, when you're busy working 9-5 and building a business on the side things slide and time flies.
