Wow, I just got back on here and realized I hadn’t updated this thing in almost a year. A ton has happened in the past year. I know Jeanette has already covered most of it, but I have to say the biggest change for me is being self-employed.
I quit my job at Winnercomm on July 31st of 2007, which will be six months at the end of January. It doesn’t seem nearly that long. I have to say I am absolutely loving it still. People kept telling me I’d get bored and be wanting to come back. You always hear about people doing that, but I have to say, I think there’s something wrong with those people. 😉
I am absolutely loving being self-employed and I can’t see ever going back to a normal job by choice. There’s some added stress in trying to keep everything moving forward and not blowing the whole thing, but that’s also off-set by the sense of freedom of being able to take off a day when I need to, not having to worry about making it to work on time, having unreasonable time lines and having to balance everything to keep half a dozen different project managers satisfied.
I miss the social aspects of it sometimes, but there’s other ways to get social time besides going to work. All in all I feel very blessed to have this opportunity and wouldn’t dream of trading it.
As for how all this self employment work has been going… so far excellent! CreditorWeb.com has continued to grow by leaps and bounds since July. I also launched CardCommission.com last year that is slowly gaining traction. I’ve been working on DestroyDebt.com for about two years now with minimal success, but a few months ago I did away with the whimsical design in exchange for something more serious, and things have started picking up with it.
