-: I like coming up with new ideas.
And being able to express them.
I like learning cool stuff for my clients.
And helping them express it.
I just, you know, I've always loved writing.
I've always loved language.
And so I feel very fortunate that I've
been able to turn that into a career.
Not just a sideline.
And, you know, I've been able to support a family of five.
With that skill.
It's not something that I come home from a job that I hate.
And I do for a couple of hours.
And, you know, have this unfulfilled dream
of being a writer.
I actually get to do that on a daily basis.
Biggest challenge is clients don't always pay on time.
So I miss the steady paycheck.
You know, a reliable paycheck.
I've never had a client not pay.
But I've had them pay late.
And so, you know, when you're used to
getting paid every two weeks or once a month.
And you know the money's going to be there.
And then you have a job like mine where you're not sure.
That can be difficult.
You know, another, another issue is
finding new clients.
That's always a problem.
If you're not somebody who likes to take risks
like calling up a bunch of people
and asking them if they'd like to buy your service.
That can be difficult.
Those are, I think, a couple of big challenges.
But the, I think the benefit, the pay-off for me is,
it's my company.
You know, one problem for, you know,
people who work in corporate life
or work for other people is
you'll work hard,
and you might end up working 60 and 80 hours
a week on a special project.
But at the end of the day,
that's somebody else's money.
You didn't get paid more.
With me, I can work 60 and 80 hours a week.
And that's for me.
That's for my benefit.
I will enrich myself, not somebody else.
