As some of you might know I quit my day-job some 9 months ago in search of the awesome freelancing utopia that so many people in my field enjoy.

I spent these last 9 months building a business with some very talented people and was really having a good ol time! Cashflow was happening and clients were rolling in even though we only had word of mouth advertising going. Well to cut a potentially long story short. It didn’t work out as planned and here we are a few months later and a whole lot wiser with a blank slate. (18 March 2011).

I consider myself extremely lucky and felt somewhat relieved once the final goodbyes have been said. Weird? Absefekenlutely!

Let me put it this way: The problem is that I wasn’t doing anything different or new, client work was order of the day and my life was still being lived from one deadline to the next. Not the reason I left the security of my awesome job that I loved. 

At first I was shocked and a bit bleak that things had turned out the way they had but I’m definitely a guy with a go-getter attitude and I realised that I had to make hay while the sun was shining, so heres a day-by-day account of what I did.

D-Day +3

Today was spent pretty much tied up in admin, phone calls and conversations. Not much towards my future was done but I managed to give myself a blank slate start for tomorrow. I managed to play some X-Box :)
