Every now and then someone will ask me how I like my job; or what I like best about it.  My answer is always the same.  I enjoy learning about and writing about a variety of topics for a variety of companies in a variety of industries.   I’ve learned more in these past four plus years than in all of my previous years of employment.  I’ve had a chance to write and market everything from engineering simulation to supply chains, fabrication, molding, and testing to foster care and adoption. What a variety!

I guess I’m one of those people who likes to have a lot going on at the same time.  It can make for some hectic days and sleepless nights but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Those butterflies, anxious moments, and deadlines are what makes one feel alive. In this business you had better embrace those things, and feed off of them because they aren’t going away (or at least you had better hope they don’t).

When I first started my business people would say: “Oh you’re going to be out golfing or working in the garden or napping all of the time!” Any business owner knows that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  There is always something to do and you always feel like you should be doing it.  You almost have to force yourself to take an afternoon off to cut the grass or whatever without feeling guilty.  I need to get over that and enjoy every aspect of this adventure – even the occasional off day.

With that I think I’ll go cut some grass.
