Let's face it, working for
the man sucks right? It's no doubt more and more people are
venturing out and starting a web design business, and why
not, the demand is certainly there. More and more business
owners understand the importance of online business, and are
constantly seeking out developers to help them brand their
businesses on the internet.
I'll be honest, 6 years ago I had a great job.
It was a government job, and whilst it was a little boring,
the money was great. I was earning almost $80,000 a year.
But still, I was unhappy. Why? Because I knew deep down that
It wasn't what I really wanted to do. For me, I loved doing
web design. I couldn't imagine anything better than doing
something that I loved and getting paid for it!
It was almost 8 years ago to this day, that I arrived at work,
as usual, having sat in traffic for an hour, to find myself
sitting at my desk wondering why on earth I did this every
day? I was miserable. Not only was I being subjected to office
gossip, but the boring meetings were doing my head in. On
top of that, I had a boss with no people skills who used to
smell of cigarette smoke all the time.
He would walk into the office and interrupt us working, and
talk about anything and everything for hours on end. Then
wonder why we were always behind?
In the end I grew tired of the same mundane repetitive work
days and handed in my resignation.
At the time I was extremely worried. Because I knew I had
no idea of what I was doing, but I was absolutely certain
that I definitely didnt want to be sitting at that desk any
longer.
As it turned out, I did very well and manage to grow my business
to the point of being able to hire others, who now work for
me. I just hope they don't dislike me as much as I disliked
my old boss!
Starting a web design business was the best decision I ever
made, I'm absolutely loving my life now, and enjoying every
minute of my work.
