Our guestroom/my office
My little "office" with a view :)
Being an Independent Contractor meant creating my own LLC (Limited Liability Company) and that meant a whole slew of paperwork and ropes to jump through. It definitely wasn't easy, but it's kind of cool to say I'm the president of my own company. I'm sure when the time for taxes rolls around next year I'll be singing a different tune, but for now being "President" is just cool.
So fast forward to today. I love being my own boss. I love working from home and I love feeling in control of my life. No more waking up and dreading the day ahead. I really enjoy working now because I feel like the work I'm doing matters. Every hour I work, I get paid. It's funny how differently that feels than before. Is there still risk involved? Sure. I don't always know what I'm going to work on next, but I've worked on some great projects already - projects I never would've had the opportunity to work on before because I was attached to one project. Now, multiple managers reach out to me for help, which is really wonderful. I feel like I have something to offer and people are seeking me out for that skill. I just feel... happy, and that's pretty amazing.
