I packed up my cubicle, left my job, did a happy dance in the parking lot and never looked back!
Did I have a new job lined up? Nope.
Am I looking for one? Perish the thought!
Am I collecting Unemployment Benefits? Nuh-uh.
Do I have a lot of money in the bank? Define "a lot". (Maybe a few month's worth.)
Do I have any regrets? Not a one!
So....what am I planning to do? I've taken the plunge into the great unknown of self-employment and decided: It's work for myself, or bust!
Now, I'm not completely clueless - I have dozens of ideas spinning around in my ADD mind. The challenge is whittling them all down to a manageable few.
But this I do know: I'm going to do
- Something I enjoy
- Something that inspires and motivates me
- Something I can do at home or wherever I happen to be
- And something that will earn me money to live on!
And exactly how do I propose to do all that? I've decided to consult the experts. Between all the books I've bought and haven't had a chance to read (like Get Motivated, The Procrastinator's Handbook -yeah, I know - and several how-to-make-money paperbacks), plus guidance from a couple of online courses, I'm determined to make it happen.
And then what? I will happily share the steps that worked and things I've learned along the way with you, fellow cubicle inmates everywhere! Because life is too short to be bored and uninspired, and it's never too late to reinvent your life!
(Disclaimer: I'm not recommending you just walk off your job like I did - you may have more sense than me. I just knew that if I didn't do it that way, I'd still be serving my sentence in that 5' X 6' cubicle indefinitely. It was time to break out!)
