One of the Best Days of my life
Besides the day I married my wife and the birthdays of each of my three children, there is another day I will never forget. Or should I say I’ll never forget how I felt that day.
It was back in 1999, when I quit working a job. I had given notice, so It was’nt like I just walked out or anything. I still remember though, at that end of that day, walking out of work and knowing I would’nt have to go back. It was an incredible feeling. It was like I walked into a whole new world, literally. The day felt great, I had a little spring in my step and my happiness was at an all time high.
It was’nt even my last boss, he was actually one of the best bosses I’d ever had. It was just the fact that for so many years I just hated working for some one else. How many family events I had missed over the years, because I had to work. How many holidays and weekends I had to work. Not to mentioned my life being scheduled by some one else.
In early 1999 was when I went full time on the internet. Although that day I was on an terrific life high, it was also very scary. I was making good money, but it sure was’nt a guarenteed paycheck every week. I was’nt getting paid by the hour for my work…..
Even though, one thing I’ve learned over the years, if I kept working on things that made money, my income would keep flowing. In 8 years, it has always been more than a regular “job” would pay, often many times over.
I am not trying to impress you or brag that I am so talented or so good. I am a average person just like you. I do not have a high IQ, I did not even go to college. Everything I learned was by doing. I’ve had success and I’ve made mistakes, but learned from both.
I am not saying to quite your job today and burn all your bridges, though many successful people have done that, I am saying you can create a very nice income on the internet. By all means keep your job, you have to pay the bills.
You can start part time and build up your income, thats how most people have done it. I took it a step futher, I worked like a mad man. There were days I would stay up all night and go to the “job” in the morning. I was determined and focused. I wanted it now and I wanted it fast.
What did i get? In less than six months my internet income passed my job’s paycheck.
Do you dread or even hate your “job”? Do you wish you made more money and your own work schedule? Hate your boss? Work holidays or miss time with your family?
I checked all of the above and did something about it.
Only question left……
What are YOU going to do about it?

Hi Ron,
Great blog!
My “freedom day” was Monday September 10th, 2001.
Yep. I left my job 1 day before the September 11th attacks.
Nice timing… Huh?
But things have worked out amazingly well.
Wouldn’t change a thing. (Except perhaps leaving a couple years sooner!)

Congratz Eric. Was that a great feeling to walk out of there or what? Ya, some timing…:)
I would have to say the same thing, wish I’d have started earlier myself. At the very least, I could have gotten some great domains. Thanks for posting.
