Major Personal Announcement
The freedom that I once had as a freelance and consultant is replaces by a strict and rigid structure. The passion I had for the projects I worked on while a freelancer and consultant is replaced by conformity. The drive I had as a freelancer and consultant is replaces by the daily grind.
The things that I value the most have disintegrated into thin air. The ideas I shelved to come work for a company are still there. They have always been there in the back of my mind. This freedom, passion, and drive are what keep me going. If those are gone then well I might as well be gone.
I know my family suffers from me being more distant. I hear how I don’t laugh as much. I hear how I don’t smile as much. And I hear how I don’t talk as much when I’m at home as before. I get stressed a lot more easily than I did 2 years ago.
To help with the issues above I have decided to start consulting and doing web development freelance work again.
So with that said it’s time for me to start making changes to the way things are. It’s time for me to re-ignite that Freedom I once felt! It’s time for me to let the ideas flow! It’s time for me to re-fill that glass of Passion again! It’s time for me to Drive right though the barriers again! It’s time for me to take charge of my own direction again! It’s time for me to be the disruptive force that I once was!
Freedom – Using current and future tools to adapt to an ever changing landscape
Passion – When I get started on something I’m truly passionate about everyone better watch out! My passion is the social web. My passion is information. My passion is knowledge. My passion is Data points. My passion is using the tools on hand. My passion is adding low or zero cost tools. My passion is finding the right mix for a project. My passion is disruption. My passion is living on the digital edge. My passion is experimenting. My passion is game changing!
Drive – Drive is something I can’t define without mentioning passion. When that passion is there no barrier is a limit for me. There will always be a solution to a problem I encounter.
