walk to the fridge at 3 in the afternoon and grab a beer to drink while I work.

I'm taking vacation this week to work on my business, then go back to the day job on Monday. My last day there will be the day before Thanksgiving.

Man oh man, I'm gonna like this full-time IM stuff.

    Now that's something to be thankful for - what perfect timing.

    Hey John,

    It is absolutely awesome isn't it!

    I actually just quit my day job at the end of last month.

    Congratulations on being able to quit your job, you're really going to love it. Actually, I think I read that you are retiring right?

    Were you in the military or something like that?

    Either way, congratulations you are truly going to love this lifestyle. It is amazing.

      John, it really is one of the best feelings in the world to walk to the fridge grab a beer and just hang out and do some work. I usually take it a step further though and get in the hot tub after grabbing the beer

      Yes to both.

      No more deployments. No more field exercises.

      No more shaving when I don't feel like it! (that's a biggie)

      No more commute!

      Oh, yeah!

        hey John,

        Thank you for your service to our country. I served in the Army.

        So, I definitely know it feels about the deployments and shaving and all that crazy stuff. Anyway, thanks again for your service.

        Regards,

        Shannon Herod

    Hey John,

    that's what motivated me leave my offline business behind and focus on internet marketing. It's the best 'job' in the world.

    Another milestone today. I'll be getting my last military haircut.

    WOO HOO!

    See you on the other side, Rod.
