It's been a wild ride these last few months trying to transition into a new industry, but wow.. it's been a great one.

For the first time in 4 years, I will be receiving a paycheck.

But let me step back..

You see for the last 4 years I've been working from home, doing what online marketers do.. and I thought it was great for a while.

I realized, however, that my life was becoming boring.. I was working at home so much that I never left. I had the big old house and a pool.. but I wasn't even using it how I should.

So I made a huge transition. I got rid of the house, moved back to the city and started going to Starbucks.

I started attending networking events (twice weekly) and started hosting my own. I even began to change my appearance because wearing plain t-shirts was getting old and didn't feel "fun" anymore.

And for the first time.. I have a motorcycle and a sports car at the same time. Nothing fancy, but enough to make people look and ask questions.

And starting May 5th, I'll be getting a paycheck.

I'm not going to be working for someone else.. in fact I'll still be working for myself. But this time around I'll actually be an employee versus the "boss". I've partnered up, hired out assistants, a business advisor and for the first time in 4 years.. I'll be free.

Free from constant worry and constant thought that I'd be able to make it.

Now... I've made some big money in the past 4 years, some months over $25,000 but I never felt entirely free. I always felt like everything relied solely on me.. because it did.

Having a team and having others to hold me accountable changes all of that.

I'm changing... and it's for the better

P.S. Thank you Warriors for being there for me every step of the way. I've shared many stories of my success on here and will continue to do so.. in fact I just landed a $4,000 client with my partner which of total time investment will take less than 1 day of work. My goal is to achieve $30,000/mo average at the start of 2015. Here's to the future!

    Cool. Congratulations on your success Justin. : ) I think (ultimately) that's the goal for most business/company owners.

    Great to hear things are going well for you. It really is nice to have the flexibility to shake things up and try something new. Not everyone can do that and I know it is only possible because of the hard work you put in for years. Congrats on your success.
