Blog post # 1

Blog post no.1…. 2009 was an eventful year for me, I finally got out of the rat race last April 09 and ventured out on my own. Spent the next 6 months setting up my business and making sure it was running smoothly.

Leaving the corporate life was a big gamble, medical benefits, car plan, profit sharing, incentives… nothing beats having a pay check every 15 and 30th of the month to fall back on. Yet it makes you think, I worked for multinational financial institutions for the better part of my corporate life, earning shiny pennies in the process but too tired to spend it when you work an ave. of 12 hours a day. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the hunt! Working with great minds, competitive atmosphere and always pushing yourself to be the best at all times. But I guess after a time of burning the candle at both ends, you tend to stop and think… is it all worth it? How many people at their death bed wished that they spent more time at the office and exceeded company targets?

So here I am I may not be earning as much as I was but I have a lot of time on my hands. Now that my little business is somewhat stable, it’s time to travel! Started it of already last December, have a lot more places to see this 2010… to infinity and beyond!
