Hello all,
Just turned 30, closed on our first home, found out my wife and I are expecting again, and quit my comfy salaried job to go into business for myself for the first time ever. All of which, happened all at once, last week.
I’m overwhelmed, scared shitless, panicking, excited, pumped, you name it. I’m every emotion imaginable right now.
I’ve toyed with entrepreneurship ever since I was 12 and finally something has clicked and I finally took the leap and now I’m building the parachute on the way down.
The biggest thing that drove me to taking the plunge was that I finally found the biggest motivator for me.
Control.
For me, realizing how much control I could have over my life but otherwise don’t due to my choices, bahaviors, actions, or inactions was enough to push me over the edge and go for broke.
The things I can or can’t buy, the experiences I can or can’t experience, the time I have available; all things I can control but have given up control over.
So I’m done. I control me now.
I’m here to learn as I go. I’m here to do the work. I’m here to help when and if I can.
Should you have any questions ask away, otherwise I’ll see you on the other side.
