To pursue a business I started back in December, full time. This is the 2nd business I've started in a little over a year. The first one really isn't mine anymore since it was started with my now ex, and I'm only entitled to a profit percentage. That one is a preschool, and is just now starting to become slightly profitable.
I've been working 7 days a week, sometimes 16 hour days (barely seeing much of my son) to juggle my day job and my business and the business is getting to the point where I can't take on anymore work and still have a day job. I had to choose between keeping my day job which is guaranteed income year round and just do side work to supplement, or take the chance and quit and pursue the business full time and deal with the slow money periods. The caveat is that my boss did no take me quitting very well. In fact, he was pissed off at me because I pretty much fucked him. I'll never be able to work for him again. I couldn't give him 2 weeks notice because a huge project just fell in my lap the other day that if I would have given the boss 2 weeks, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish the project and would have definitely left a bad taste in a big client's mouth. The way I see it is, business is business. He'll be ok.
I'm kind of scared but pretty excited about it. I've saved up enough to make it work. It's going to be nice to have my life back again.
Pray for me![lol :lol: :lol:](/styles/smilies/lol.gif)
