Employment Vent

I really want to go into business for myself! I did freelancing earlier in the year and felt free. Fear pushed me back into a "day job". I'm kind of disgusted with myself for doing that. I feel like I have a lot to give on various levels but need to find time to focus on it.
When I did the freelance thing earlier in the year, I was also really depressed and uninspired at the time and mostly slept a lot. That was bad. I even had a gig paying a nice hourly wage and offering unlimited hours potential. Why didn't I seize on that and make it a full (or 30 hour a week cash-cow) time reality? And still have time left over for play, writing, developing new ideas, making music, etc. *Sigh*...
I'm inspired again, but I'm not about to quit. When I left my other job in Feb, it was a very rash, stupid quick decision. I *needed* some stability at the time. I have to start working again on some plans and money makers but in the wee small hours ;-)

Much better, thanks. It was a momentary freak out but has solidified into "do something about it" feelings. Wanted to mention it yesterday but was tired. Sorry you had to hear it here first ;-)

Okay, so we all reach this point in our life where the desire for money and freedom collide. I'm sure you can do it, honey. Just be safe, be realistic, and have confidence. Things could be worse; you can live off of my salary (i.e. student loans and about $500 a month from my hospital job). There...now don't you feel better ;)
