I'm sitting on my front porch in the middle of the night, wishing I could just do all my work from right here. Like anything worth doing, though, it takes some research and planning to bring a dream into reality.
So, just as I'd research the side effects of diet pills before I ever took them, I'm in the midst of researching and developing a plan of action that will bring me out of my regular job and into a position where I can work solely from home. These days off give me a real hunger for just being home and making my own work schedule - something that can't be done when you work for someone else.
"Freedom" is my mantra these days. I know that being self-employed can often be harder than working a few hours for someone else, but there's something very satisfying about being the one who is responsible for everything, good or bad. It's satisfying to continue learning and set goals.
