Circa July 2008
My goal here is to document and store data about my transition from working for a staffing agency at my employer to being in business for myself. I’ve already learned a decent amount about what I need to do, but there seems like quite a bit more I need to do before I take the plunge.
Who am I?
A 26 year old software developer in Illinois USA.
Why?
- Fame, fortune? maybe… excluding the 27% increase in pay, I plan on using my new found business ability for other ventures.
- Getting rid of a staffing agency that just happened to have an agreement with the company I work for? Most definitely.
- dropping the staffing agency for other reasons like their pseudo-group health insurance that is insanely expensive, yeah, that too. HSA here I come.
- breaking the knowledge barrier to starting a business. *Hopefully* no lawyers or CPAs for me. I love to learn and do things on my own.
While I’m in for a lot of work and learning, I look forward to it. Taking my financial future into my own hands as apposed to just taking a paycheck, is a one of my many illusions of grandeur.
