So this Friday is my last day in the office. I gave a three weeks notice and I'm off on my own.

I already registered my business and obtained my tax id! woot. Going to focus my business on the martial arts community and some high-end spa stuff as well.

Basically going to take this year and work enough to enjoy myself alot and pay the bills. I've got a lot of dreams and personal development I want to work on, instead of being stuck in someone elses office working on things I dont even like, even if the money is good and I was offered more to stay.

So maybe I will be here more often. Hopefuly, runing some designs by everyone!

ez!

    Well done, echoes. Working on your own is tough - goes without saying, but ooooooooooh so worth it if you manage the jobs well. Life is short, if there is an opportunity to enjoy the work you do rather than to be unhappy fulfilling someone else's dreams then it's a no-brainer. Best of luck setting yourself up! :)

    Yeah, well done and good luck.

    I'm still in two minds whether to do it again myself. I'm getting busier by the day....

    I tried the freelance bit for 8 months, before the job im at now. It was great, but I needed to get more connected for it to really work. Now that I have some solid connections, it's time to give it another go.

    Hehe, i remember when i first started working at my current place, because of the amount of drinks' clients we have, my alcohol consumption rose dramatically. I'm into my 4th year here, and i've only just managed to keep the work/alcohol balance in check :D
