Once you’ve been in the trenches of this (or any other) business for a while, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify working for somebody else. Yes, a steady pay cheque is nice. Yes, security helps us all sleep well at night. But when you spend your days building a profitable company for somebody else, it can become rather disheartening. So in many respects, I am looking at my new found freedom as an opportunity to forge ahead in a direction I could never undertake in the employ of another. This time, everything has changed.

I’ve decided that I do not want another job, and that it’s time for me to go into business for myself. With the skills and knowledge I have gained over the years, there is no reason (aside from my own complacency) that I shouldn’t be a successful entrepreneur. I’m probably looking at some lean times ahead, and there is no doubt that the life of an entrepreneur is fraught with struggle, but I have never been more excited!

I’m going to take on a few clients, and kick much ass on their behalf. I’m going to build some quality sites that I can be truly proud of. And I’ve got a product in the works that has the potential to earn a whole lot of money. On top of that, I’ll probably do some freelance copy writing / blogging / PR stuff to help make ends meet. So stay tuned kids… I’m kicking ass and taking names.
