Work

Today was in many ways my last day at work. I am working all day Sunday 11am-6pm, but it will be quiet and there won’t be many staff in.

So i said most of my goodbyes today Many people are curious as to what i’m doing, and i get the impression they feel it’s an easy ride.. ‘oh, so you’re working at home then..’

Yeah sure, that’s a perk.. but what about the 60+ hours i’ll be putting in, never mind the 30-40 hours i’m putting in atm? You hear of these dot com success stories, seemingly a 3 step process… idea -> site-> money. If it were as simple as that, wouldn’t we all be millionaires

I’ve never once said this is easy or will be easy. In fact, it will be more challenging for me and that’s one reason why i’m leaving – to challenge myself and get the best out of myself. I’m in no mood to sit back and doss around. I’m not a cowboy builder

However, people expect me to succeed at whatever i do, and i’ve been told that. It’s more pressure for me, as i’m expected to be successful at this, but then again i love pressure, expectation. I feed on it for motivation.

So one day left, and i’m a free agent. I can enjoy the summer and eat ice cream whilst strolling around parks and going swimming in lakes. yeah right – the only place you’ll see me this summer is in my bedroom on my laptop. If you do see me outside, it will be in a BeerChief t-shirt. I’ll technically be working 24/7 then as i’m acting as a walking billboard.

An exciting few months lie ahead for me, that’s for sure. The plan at the minute is to head to college in September, but i’m quietly confident i’ll be earning enough to take another year out. A sniff of success, and i’ll be taking year out.

I don’t want to go to college if i can help it. I’m more energetic and productive at the minute than i’ve ever been in school, i feel college could bore me and drain me of my enthusiam. But if i can’t make a living online, i’ll have no choice but to head to college.
