So…welcome to 2011…
i dont usually do the whole writing stuff about myself on here..but i thought this would be a good opportunity to share something with all of you..
One year ago I was enjoying the first day of my “unemployment”. I had quit my job towards the end of 2009. I was working at a language school for 5 years before that, as an office clerk..accounting, administration, project management..the typical 9-5 stuff… and i hated it…every second of every day.. because it wasnt what i was meant to be doing.. my heart wasnt in it one bit.. I had been working on this music stuff on the side for about the same amount of years i was working there, but i hadnt started making any money with it and i also didnt have the time to really focus on it. I had always know that one day I would make this dream of mine come true, to surround myself with music all day, every day.. to do what i love, and make a living doing it.. When you have a dream like that, its kind of like bungee-jumping.. It just takes that one little moment to jump.. and it takes a whole lot to actually do it.. to build up the courage.. i jumped a year ago.. and i’m still in free fall.. So much has happened since then.. I built this website shortly after I quit my job so it hasnt even been up a year but the site visits are already steady and at a good number.. the feedback has been great.. Plus it lead me to my PR and promotional work that actually makes me money.. I couldnt have done all this without the years of experience and the connections that I had made before.. But nevertheless, I did this in a reasonable amount of time.. Dont get me wrong..i’m still struggling very much financially..and emotionally sometimes.. I get scared that I might not be able to keep this going..or that it wont ever get to the point where i can pay all of my bills with it.. There’s alot of fear involved… Alot of sacrifice.. But, when I look back at this past year, realizing how far I have gotten, how much progess I have made..i am truly thankful..and proud..and hopeful..and..happy…
I really want to thank everyone who has been coming to this site, who has left me feedback, who has supported what i do, who has given me work.. I appreciate each and every one of you! And to every person who has a dream like i have had for the past 10 years… Yes, it’ll take hard work and dedication to get there…but most of all..it takes courages…courages to jump… but if you know in your heart that you have what it takes, that you CAN get there…then jump…i promise, it’ll feel so good…
alright alright…starting to sound like a self-help book author here..lol..let me get back to curing my NYE hangover ;)…
and here’s a lil something for everyone who isnt easily satisfied..who strives for more…
