Coming full circle

Things are coming full circle for me; I thought I’d share it with you.

First off, I’ve kind of documented the fall of my business in my blog. I’m not going to hash all that out again, but to be brief I’ve been self employed most of my life. I’ve had businesses where its just been me, to anywhere from 5 to 100 employees. It all crashed and burned about 12 years ago, and since that time I’ve been licking my wounds, paying back debt as much as I was able to, and quite frankly working for other people.

Since then I’ve had 4 jobs, all having to do with either the Internet or Information technology. Working for other people is great in some ways, but toward the end I just kind of hit the wall.

I interviewed for a fairly good and high paying job here about 3 months ago, and I’m working for a company now that is great to work for (not gonna mention names), but much of your life when you’re a) ambitious and b)Working for the man is looking for some sort of approval. Living under someone elses vision or what is good for the business, and what isn’t, etc.

Anyway, after I nailed that last interview I realized I didn’t want the job, and turned it down. I had an epiphany; I decided I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life needing the approval of anyone but a customer. I’m extremely capable of doing that well. I decided I was going to start my own business again. I’d hit up a guy here in Queen Creek and we’re starting a computer repair/IT Business here. I’ve done it before, and I’ll do it again. I have no doubts we’ll make this work.

Anyhoo, thats where my life has been. I’m extremely fired up about it. I’m transitioning out of my job I’m at now so they can train and fill my positioning, but in a little over a month the flag drops and all the fun begins.

I’m beyond fired up. I should have done this a long time ago.
