Hey guys, so last week I lost my job which is 90% of my income & leaves my fiance & 2 kids in a terrible situation! But for some reason I'm glad :/ I feel free! I have about 4 months of savings & a hell of a lot of time.

I think I needed this to push me to becoming my own boss & working on making myself happy, as opposed to being in a dead end job , miserable & feeling trapped!

Tomorrow I will be buying a van & setting up a mobile car valeting business. It won't be bringing in as much as the job I've just lost, but it's a start to my journey of being free! This along with a couple of other ideas I have could mean me losing my job was a blessing in disguise :)

I have an app idea what I will be soon enough starting up ( hoping for some advice on here) but the free time I have is making my vision more clear of where/ what I need to do.

Thanks for reading guys & wish me luck 😀
