Freedom?

Well, after yesterday's little hiccup of taking more than 6 hours to work out how to get my site verified with Google, (note to self: make video), it's really kinda sunk in how amazing this journey is going to be. From a heavy engineering project background, This is an awesome feeling.

Normally i would have to get up at 5.00 am in the morning, then a I hour drive to be at he site, the intense pressure of work, the same drive home at around 7.00pm (that's 1900hrs for us ex-military types), follow-up on any urgent messages for work, entertain the big boss when he texts at 11.00pm, only to repeat the same thing the following day, 6 days a week.

Now here I am, sitting at Hard Rock Cafe Kuala Lumpur, writing my blog and doing my training. This morning I already visited the server provider to try and fix my connection problem, I had a pleasant ride on my Harley which is sitting now just in front of me.

Is this what they call freedom? Quality of life? It's a good feeling, I know that.

Now just need to try and make some money, lol.
