I have spent the last 27 years working for companies and other people. While I have had amazing employers, I have also experienced really negative workplace environments. I feel now I am disenchanted by the idea of another terrible boss or working in another company with a toxic work environment.

So here I am, in 2025, with no idea with what the future holds but excited to try a new way; self employment. I am at the beginning of this journey and decided to write about my experience. Already it has been a rollercoaster of emotions of thinking how am I going to start, what am I going to do, how will I support myself or do my taxes? However, the idea of being my own boss and the excitement of the opportunities is keeping my motivation high.

I hope that writing about my experience will help me process my actions, and allow reflection and growth on my journey to help me find lessons in what I am doing and help inspire me when things may not be going as well as they could be. I hope that you can join me on my journey.
