Hello everyone. I'm currently a web developer and started designing around 7 years ago(took a web design class in HS and followed up with it on and off).
I've been browsing this site for a few weeks and taken alot of notes. This site has allowed me to realize I've been lying to myself the whole time. I buy entrepreneurship books but never read them, have ideas and never execute them and hate my job but still show up there everyday and complain about it but never execute. I've started holding myself accountable. I'm currently half way through @MJ DeMarco book and in the process of starting my own web design agency.
I read through @Fox web design thread and it inspired me to take my passion/knowledge and apply it elsewhere. I will be quitting my job in a few months and to make sure I don't back out I wrote it down and I'm now creating this thread to hold myself accountable.
I don't have a car note/sports car or alot of bills apart from my phone bill and my car insurance which aren't that high since I decided to fix/repair my car myself because I'd rather do that than buying a new car and having a car note. I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur so I tried to minimize my bills so I have more time for my ideas.
Even though I will be quitting I want it to be done on my own, so I won't sit at home expecting my parents to pay for anything after I quit. I'll save and pay my bills the same way I worked and paid for college myself.
I'd rather be hungry and fail 1000 times aiming for the stars than to be rich in a slow lane job full of uncertainties. The journey begins here.
