So it's official: Alan and I threw our hats into the entrepreneurial ring and are taking AIS full-time. No more sure paychecks. No more sick days and someone will cover for you. (Well, that didn't exactly happen before.)
I always used to envy people that owned their own business, thinking that I could never do that. When I went to DonorWare, I was very happy and started telling people that DonorWare would be the last time I work for someone else. There are no corporate politics, the leadership is full of great, fun people, and working from home can hardly be beat.
But at the end of the day, none of it beats working for oneself. (Yeah yeah, you don't have one boss, you have hundreds. There's still a difference.) It's a ton more work, it can be significantly more stressful... and it's about 1000 times more fulfilling. There's something exciting (I would have said "sickening" a couple of years ago) about one's next meal coming from whether or not one can drum up business.
So I'll be working for DonorWare full-time for another week plus, available part-time for a couple of weeks, then unfettered just before the Gospelcom conference. So if you want to send any business our way, we'd be eternally grateful. :-)
