The time has come. To further my progress with my business, I need to sell my car. The profits from it will only be used to expedite my business ventures, to hire more outsourcers, and to make things go just that much faster. I have completely dedicated myself to what I am doing and refuse to let a little inconvenience slow me down. I have already purchased a mountain bike for the short commute from my girlfriends house to mine (1 mile), and am planning on moving in with her within the next two weeks. I have gone from just working by myself up til last week, over the past week I have hired 4 full-time outsourced employees and I only need one more with a very specific skillset to make this work. My girlfriend has a car that I can use if need be, but since I am always working and all of my work is done online, I doubt I will even need that. I also live downtown, so everything is a very short commute anyways. Also, given my very long work hours, I need the exercise.

Dedicated or just plum crazy? I'm siding with dedicated. Gotta love direct capital injection. ;)
