Think about your future. From “Stupid Posts” series.
Roughly 1,5 years passed after I have quit my last job. And I should say that I’m totally happy with this choice. Understanding that now you are protecting your own interests only is worth that complexity of being independent. My schedule is now quite flexible, I commit to various areas of interest (including no profit ones, like Lilu or Protonio). What is important, I have way wider choice now.
Lessons I have learnt are as follows:
- Mostly any vision of future is erroneous. Things are likely to change.
- Expectations are failing. Estimations are completely wrong :)
- Do not underprice yourself
- Choose right clients
- Try strange ideas
- Get real.
Being free is really nice. I’ve finally came to committing to my own business rather than to others.
