A month ago I bought my tickets to head to Seattle and registered for An Event Apart. I’m super-excited about it. I love Seattle, and I love hanging out with my peers.

The scotch is a present from my wife. She’s congratulating me on quitting my job. Just a week ago I gave notice at the day job. It’s not something one does every day. In fact, I’ve worked there for over six years.
But it was time to go, and opportunities await. I am going to freelance, full time, doing web design and a little bit of podcasting. After six years at the day job, this could be a bit of a terrifying possibility. I mean, leaving your job without any guaranteed income? Are you crazy?
Maybe, but honestly, I have a lot of peace about this opportunity. I already have some great clients as well as some excellent prospects.
Originally, I had thought I might quit my …
