I finally quit my job today
This has been a long time coming. I'm happy to say
the last day at my present full-time employer (KnowledgeWave) will be September
15. The reason for the longish timeline is that I'm not easily
replaceable and I want to make my transition out of KnowledgeWave easy
on them. After I'm gone from full-time, I'll still do the odd
contractor gig, teaching classes and webinars here and there. This
isn't some big "Fuck you, I quit" thing. This is just me needing to do
what's right for me, and not at the expense of my coworkers.
But... no more 45-minute commutes in the dead of winter. No more
spending every day feeling like I'm wasting my time because I could be
doing something else that's more interesting and lucrative. No more
Monday morning blues.
I'm not worried at all about making enough money. There are many
projects I'll have more time to work on and bring to fruition sooner
which will bring in all the money I need.
To the few people who I've had long conversations with about all this
(you know who you are): Thank you.
If you want to book any blog coaching or
consulting with me for October, I just had a lot of time open up,
so get in on it now.
