When I wake up in the morning....

When the kids get up at 7, that means that I get up at 7.

Our version of "kid" wakes me up with paws on the bladder at 4am. We hit the kitchen so she can have a snack, she goes outside, and I "relieve" the pressure she caused and go back to bed.

She don't understand weekends or Mommy!

Human civilization would not exist without the desire to take risks, leap into the unknown, and trust in our own talent and willpower.

Go forth and kick ass.

Ah - Internerd Humor. I lollered.

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone.

I've been self employed for the last 12 years and it certainly has its moments but I wouldn't have it any other way. The stories I hear from friends about brain-dead bosses, back biting and petty bull crap that goes on at their jobs makes those times I work 14 hour days seem a whole lot better.  Doing it right the first time and genuine good customer service will take you far.

I'm very fortunate that I have a job that "feels" like I'm self-employed, or a contractor, yet I draw a good salary from my firm.

I'm not often at my company's offices and I don't have a cubicle.  I work from my home office, and travel to my customer's offices.  My boss leaves me alone for the most part.  (Weeks at a time between hearing from him at all.)

High risk generally creates high reward.  Good on you for having the huevos to do this.
