No More Dreading

Tomorrow the second week of my self-employment/entrepreneurship starts, and I am excited. The weekend has been good, but I can’t wait to resume my work.
The other thing I can’t believe is that it’s only been 2 weeks since I decided that I was going to go for it. This last week was rough emotionally, but a lot of new ideas and directions are starting to emerge.
It’s like when you move from one city to another. Once you immerse yourself into the new environment, change is quick and permanent. You just can’t remember or relate to being the old environment very much.
I enjoyed my last employment, but Mondays has some routine work that I didn’t look forward to. Some Mondays I would spent all day postponing that work, until I absolutely had to do them. All my jobs contained at least some elements I didn’t like. And I used to accept them as “part of life.”
Well, I am my employer now, and my job description has little that I don’t like. I am doing some things that I plan to delegate as soon as I’m able to, but it’s all for something I strongly believe in, and this thing is going to build and stay, unlike employments where you can work your butt off yet you ultimately have no say in whether you can keep it or not.
If I succeed, I can keep this job which I enjoy. Life is now simpler.
