lukewarmfusion's Journal: New Beginnings

Though I haven't informed my employers yet, I will be leaving my job as soon as possible.

'Possible' means that I need to have something lined up before I leave. I am starting my own company, which will directly compete with my current employer. Too long have I been unhappy in my job, frustrated with the clients, the salary, and the way that my bosses run the company.

My business partner and I will complement each others' skills very well. He also brings clients, different abilities, and a new perspective. We're both entreprenurial, but he will remain in his full time job for a while longer (they're paying for his MBA).

We're looking for clients and projects. I'm also starting a marketing campaign (starting with some ideas I got from "Guerilla Marketing for Free") and have some great prospects for clients. Once I have enough work waiting for me on the other side, I will quit my job. It's scary as hell, but I'm confident in our ability to get the minimum amount of work needed in order to pay the bills and survive.
