Just another little reminder that working for yourself can be sooooooo worth it.
I had lunch this week with two former co-workers. Of the three of us, only one is still working in the office I most recently left.
Chatting with her once again reinforced that I made the right choice in leaving full time employment to make my own way.
Before I get any further, please understand that walking away from full time and benefits in this Michigan economy is not usually a good idea. I only did it because the job was taking a larger toll on my physical, mental and emotional health than the paycheck was worth. We were no where near a balance. Also, I knew I could make some cash right away working as a freelance writer.
