5 years from now
Hi,

today I got pi..d again at work. I dislike working for someone else, but I'm still afraid to make the jump. 10 years ago I would have done it without any remorse, now not anymore since I have my family.

I plan in 3 and a half years, not to work for someone else, but for me and my company. 3 years is short, but I must set such a target to make it. I don't aim minimum wage as self-employed person, I shall at least have the same wage I have now, that is my target. 

Sometimes there are days, where I only want to close everything and don't do anything anymore that day. Is it wrong? Yes, of course it is, as I let someone destroy my day. Can I do something about it? Yes, to ignore everything, like the British saying, keep calm and carry on.

Well, easier said than done. Emotions are sometimes, very hard to control. 

What can I do, work on my plan to get out of this rat race. I owe it to my wife and kid. I need the time for them, I want to see my kid grow and it does not help when I'm pissed.

So the plan is that in 3 years I will quit for good my job.

In 5 years I hope to bring my son to school and enjoy the day when he tells me what he was in our garden next to his puppy. This is my target.

Good to have a vision and a target, keep the goal in mind and think long term, as hard as that is now.

The long term thinking is the hardest thing. I still fight with it every day as i do so many things that don't bring me anywhere. Thank you for dropping by.
