Jeff and Kallie

So today's the day...I quit my job. I will finish this week (and when I say this week, I mean until Wednesday) and then I'm done. I've looked at a couple of different options for replacements, but they all seem exhausting. I've had a lot of flexibility at my job...flexibility that I don't think I'll find anywhere else. But I'm tired of feeling trapped in a job that I don't enjoy and I don't want to worry anymore about whether or not I'll have a job next week. So back to my options - there are a lot out there, just not any that I'm really interested in. 8-5 would work...if I didn't have to be home working at Heather Cove for 4 hours a day already.... 9 hours plus another 4 makes for a pretty long day. Besides that, I am my father's daughter...I do NOT do well with 8-5 working for some other guy.

Jeff has been doing mortgages and we hired a marketer and offered him a percentage of the commission for loans he brings in. I know that the right person in that job could bring us tons of money. I also know that no one would be better at it than I would...afterall I've got a lot more riding on it than some kid we hired.

It's always been in my plans to work for myself...to leave the corporate world behind for hard work and a schedule that I create. (Hang on...this will come together...right....now) :)

So I'm taking the leap. The opportunity is here, and I'm taking it. And it's thrilling, liberating and TERRIFYING at the same time. I've worked commission before and it's not easy to have to wonder where the next check is going to come from. But this is what I want - it's what I've always wanted and I suppose if I don't do it now, then babies will come and I'll lose the chance to build something great before Jeff takes over.

I have a new goal to be more decisive and not ask for reassurance from others on everything I do...but just one last time, if you could just tell me it's going to work out I promise I won't ask again. :)
