Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars Sep 08. 055
Tommorow is my last day as an employee. I handed my notice in at Bite CP on Monday and as of 5:30pm on Friday I’m self-employed as Managing Director of Nine Four Ltd.
Exciting? Yes. Scary? Yes.
As you probably know just 2 weeks back my wife gave birth to our second daughter ‘“Isla”:http://nathanpitman.com/journal/397/im-a-dad-again’, so the timing is hardly ideal, and hey I even ignored John’s advice.
I guess it boils down to this: At some point in your career the desire to make a change, do something different and be brave just becomes so intense that you simply have to go with it. To fight against the motivation would be insane, and the way I see it… if I never try, I’ll look back in 10 years time I wish I had, but by then it might be too late.
At the end of the day if it all goes Pete Tong, then so be it. I have the love of my family and friends and I love what I’m setting out to do, what more could you ask for in life.
Good luck! Although you’ve ignored everyone else’s advice, you can only learn from your own mistakes.
