It still feels far but I can feel it coming closer.

3 months ago, I was looking for legit "work from home opportunities", again. I have tried so, so many things by the time, paid money for something totally stupid, you could probably call it "scam".

I was always a very independent person and I think as older I get, the more it shines. I keep clashing with my team leads and managers in work. I have different opinions, think the metrics are just ridiculous and... I just don't want to work for the big fishes anymore! I want to be a big fish, well a little one would be fine too for the moment! I am so done with metrics, SLA's and stupid customer service! I want to provide customer service and benefits to others the way I think is right!

Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate I got confirmation that my desire would be approachable. I can actually achieve and accomplish my way of living! I like working hard, just not for others! I am a person with loads of ideas and fantasies but until a couple of months back, I have never thought I could really be someone providing benefits to others!

See, I go to work every day, stuck in the damn traffic on my way to work and on my way home. I am stressed by the way I arrive in work, then I turn on my pc and there it is again, FRUSTRATION. Having stuff to do I do not want to do, I am not happy with. SInce joining WA, I am actually taking my dreams and fantasies serious. For a couple of weeks I had an idea in my head and today I seriously went a step further.

I have contacted one of my best mates this evening, he is a lawyer, European Laws. I told him about my idea and asked him to establish a company with me. Months back, he offered me to start a company with him. It wasn't what I wanted. Today it was my idea, I approached him. He won't have any rights etc in this company. its just for the formation, the awful legal stuff, I am not getting into that now...

Well, he agreed. We are going to establish a company, I am going to be a company owner! How cool is that!!

I am over the moon and I am glad I did not give up on my dream, being self-employed or a company owner, working for myself, my rules, my ideas, I know I will be successful! I just know it!

It is all coming together now. I left Germany for a reason, by accident I picked Ireland and a few years later I called Ireland "Home". I will never ever leave this country, it's my home. We all know about the Celtic Tiger, this country is in a crisis but I can provide a little to help individuals to make a better living! I am excited!
