I've been a Process Donkey for so many years and only recently started my own website. This is so different - and so much fun comparing to the 'real job'. But scarier too, I must admit.

I write web content, articles, ebooks, etc. and people are very quick to assume that we sit around the house all day doing nothing, when in actuality I am puttin in about 60 hours a week on work, not to mention keeping up with my website and life in general.

Frustrating.. because I think more people should be encouraged to learn about running a business and to start their own. Encouraging.. because it's hard to hear discouraging remarks from so many sources and still believe it will work. Hearing that other people are told the same thing is heartening. And I totally agree with Brian Clark too! If I ever get a REAL JOB again I will feel like a failure until I quit.

It isn't for everyone though - I'm personally glad that I have a bunch of friends in "real jobs" that get to be my customers from time to time. At least in my industry, it's the people in the real jobs that pay me to do my "not so real" job!

When I first started having to work for a living me and all my video-games-industry friends used to bless our luck at NOT having to go get a *real* job. Real jobs, you see, suck arse. That's right, you have to do stuff you don't like and you have to do it every day for half the day and you have to keep doing it until five years before you die. Jobs, you see, are evil. And the more real they are the more evil they are. "Repent, Quit your job, slack off" - "Bob" Wow, that’s weird.
