All Quiet on the Western Front....

A little too quiet....


No, I'm not just so boring that I've had nothing at all what so ever to blog about. In fact, I've actually been too busy with a bazillion different things! Okay, maybe not THAT many things.

Truth be told, the weather has been very nice, so outside calls to me. A few weeks ago I made the decision to actually start a company of my own, so that too has taken up all my free time just trying to figure out how to go about it! I'm still working on my company website. I've made about 40 different layouts only to decide that I don't like it after hours of working on it. I think number 41 is the keeper though.


And what, you might ask, will the company do? Graphic Design! Yes, very original. It's not as if there are actually 40 other company's all within my zip code doing the same thing. But still, it's something I feel I am good at, so why not give it a try? They say you never know until you try, and wouldn't I just regret the hell out of it if I never did?

I'm not 100% set up yet and I already have a customer, so it can't be too bad! There is a lot to think about with regards to getting set up. Taxes is a big looming issue. I'd have to being filing a tax return and work out all my income, including the income from my real job and some other very scary sounding forms that would have to be filled out. I'd have to keep all records of anything I bought for the company and anything I made and on and on.

After talking with a friend of mine who has been self employed in the fitness arena for a few years now, the process of setting up properly really does sound like an insane thing to do. I realized that not being freaked out by all the legal stuff must mean it's something I really want/need to do.


So! Onward and upward. Though trying to fit something else into my already dwindling free time means I'll be even busier, hopefully in the long run means a lot more free time in the future, or at least being busy as hell doing stuff I love to do anyway.
