While I agree with everything you said, there is something to be said about just taking the plunge as you did. For some planning simply procrastination. You think you would have done all the “right stuff”, but clearly the right thing for you to do at the time was get the hell out of dodge and conquer the world. Yeah it sucked but it forced you to make some very quick decisions and not waffle all over the place and let perfectionism and planning paralyze you.

#6 — yeah but it’s…insert excuse here. I will be in contact once I get some of the basics done, probably in January. Merry Christmas.

Thanks Chris! I feel like you wrote this for me b/c you have been peeking into my thoughts! I am currently working on my exit plan and changed my attitude to work – it’s amazing what resources and opportunities come out of the wood work once you shift the shitty attitude to “How can I make this work as a stepping stone [the job you might not like so much]?”

I’ve got a 12 month plan, 9 months left before the jump! Thanks for the support and affirmation!

Is that when you resigned from Titan Information Solutions?

Stacey,

The jump can be a bit scarey, but well worth it when you have the right plan in place. I find that a lot of women working for companies are in survivor mode and not as smitten as they once were with the idea of working for the same company for 20 years. I think (keep in mind that I’m heavily biased) that 2010 is the year of the Entrepreneur.

Drop me a note in January and we can chat.

Best,

Chris.

You are reading my frigging mind this morning. I’m sitting here hating my job, wondering how I got here, and now I’m going to take some control back and get this ship turned around. Maybe it is time to get serious and start my own thing. Right now fear is overpowering excitement, but thinking about retiring from where I am in 20 years makes me sick.

I’m assuming Mr. Flett, that with this post, you are going to lift the client freeze and take on some new clients in 2010? I’ve found my business coach. Question is, will he unlock the client door?

Have a great day!

Stacey
