So It’s been a few weeks since I have written anything at TheYoungCapitalist.com, but for good reason. First of all, I hope you all saw my inaugural post as a Small Biz Expert over at Small Business Trends. Turns out, it was pretty popular! I think the idea of Time as Currency is really beginning to catch on in all generations, not just the youngins’.

OK…It’s a Friday about halfway through September. I’m sitting at my desk at my job (with a soft “j”), thinking about this balance between time and money. When my paycheck arrives, it is $1200 short and this is the last of a long line of injustices my boss had brought upon me, including but not limited to phone calls when I was 4 minutes “late” (it was an all commission sales position), phone calls when I left 5 minutes “early”, meetings to discuss whether or not I wanted to be there, and constant emails reminding me of the office dress code and business hours.

The $1200 was all it took for me to decided that I was done with that job. I had already started Vision Market Development about a month prior, so I took the leap and I am now full time self-employed! It’s fantastic. We weren’t going to have much money for the next few months as I was getting my business up and running, but we had gone without money before, and we could do it again. I didn’t think it would be much of a problem…that is, until my wife told me she was pregnant the next day!!!

Yes Yes, you heard it! There will be a new Young Capitalist in the house! Pictures will come in May. I’m so excited, I can’t even begin to explain. So needless to say, I’ve a bit of a roller coaster of a month but I’m settled in to my new schedule and back in business. Apart from the carpel tunnel, working from home is amazing!!
