I've literally had it with my job and I'm at one of those life changing breaking points!!!!!!!
Let me backtrack and really introduce myself. I've been on the forums for a while now but I haven't introduced myself. I'm from Texas and I've always been interested in business and entrepreneurship since I was a kid. Since I could remember, all I wanted to do when I grew up was own my own business so I didn't have to follow other people's orders.
While I was in High School I started my first hustle which was flipping cell phones. I would buy from craigslist and sell them to students or vice versa. It made me a decent chunk of change at that age and most people knew me for having good deals on phones. At that time, pursing it in a more legitimate manner was seemed to peak my interest. However, that was put on the hold and I was forced to go to college because it was the SAFE route.
Fast Forward to today.....
I'm an engineer with a chemical engineering background. I work a boring desk job where I am underpaid, overworked, and have to put up with bullsh*t office politics. About two days ago someone from my office intentionally sabotaged some of my work which ultimately led me to have to redo the work and I also lost a lot of credibility. There have been several instances where this has happened.
Working this job has led me down a path of great depression and feeling unfulfilled in life. Today I literally snapped. It was like something took over my body and just told me to leave. So I packed my stuff up and walked out.
What I want to do........
I'd like to start a small chemical blending, distribution and warehousing business. Over the past 2 years I've attempted to start it only the get distracted by work. Today marks the day where I totally focus on the business and put my current job second hand.
Thank you all for reading and sorry for the grammatical errors as I am typing this out of anger!!!!
