The Smartest Thing I Did This Year

This past January, I decided to fully commit to Weiss Media Group, Inc., a firm which I started in 2001 but was not committed to full time. I did this after leaving a job where (suffice it to say) managerial ethics raised large and looming question marks in my mind. My conscience would have it no longer. I moved on. Becoming my own boss and starting my own firm was the best thing I could possibly do. Thank G-D, this has not only been a more financially profitable endeavor, but one that gives me peace of mind. I trust myself to get the job done and I do not have to answer to anyone else's ridiculous demands, or question - along with my poor, stressed-out colleagues - whether or not they are lying or truthful. I can pick and choose the clients that I prefer to work with and have done so wisely. I can properly set expectations rather than strive to fulfill impossibly unrealistic promises. I can eat lunch at my desk or spend the lunch time on my exercise bike. If I have to run to a doctor's appointment for a feverish child, I don't get chastised. No matter, I put in a full work day every day and when I don't (due to client meetings or a childcare related scenario), I 100% make it up in the evenings or on weekends. Above all else, I thank G-D again as I say: I'm truly happy to go to work each morning!
