Over the last month or so since I’ve launched this blog, I’ve been annoying everyone who was reading with my stories on how SCARED I am to quit my job. No, I’m wrong, I was scared to have a conversation with my manager about my decision. I knew it all the way: the decision was easy (well, kind of), and it was right; it’s the requirement to tell those in charge about it that was making me so nervous.
I just hate confrontations of any kind (I’m the kind of person who finds it difficult to say “no”), and that’s what made it so damn difficult for me.
But I’ve gathered my courage, asked for a meeting and it was it. I’ll be free to do whatever I please in about 3 weeks time. There’s a whole back story to it – my boss threw me a (pleasant) surprise, but I can’t talk about it right now for a number of reasons.
I feel relaxed and ready to go ahead with my business. And I have a ton of new ideas – including ones for this blog. But it is why I am putting it on hiatus – for now.
When I launched it, I needed a place to vent my fears and frustrations. Although I didn’t publish much of my writing, it certainly helped me to get my act together, and the simple fact that there’s someone reading it made it easier for me to commit to my decision. Now, when I’m about to launch into my new business, I fear that I won’t have much time to devote to any other projects. Also, I don’t like to hide behind a mask and want everything to be very transparent – which I can’t realistically do with this blog right now.
So, this blog goes on hiatus. When I’m ready, I’ll revisit my ideas and relaunch it with some new exciting content, but the subject will stay the same: quitting your day job, doing what you love, going out of your comfort zone, conquering your fears and just doing it.
Until then – best of luck to you!
