I was stumbling through really cool websites tonight… because I have that exciting of a life and I accidently stumbled upon this video that really inspired me. It is a preview of a college program of some sort but the words (especially at the end) in the video were very thought provoking.
If you have a few minutes to spare check out the preview of The Human Factor.
No, I am not a charity, nor is this blog.
But I recently quit my day job and became fully self employed.
As a means to keep it this way I may need some help. I quit at a hectic time (assuming an entrepreneur ever has a non-hectic time) and I ask for your support so I can continue to blog and do things to better the world and not just to make money.
I do not ask for much. My monthly output is minimal, as is my lifestyle but anything could help me out.
Am I doing this out of desperation? No. I do have school bills, car problems, etc. but who doesn’t at my age? I am just humbly asking for a trade off. I write good stuff that makes you think, you throw a little cash my way if you like it.
Thanks to whomever is willing.
Because he can come up with stuff like this.
One of my favorite blog authors, Leo from Zen Habits, had three big announcements today.
1. His blog, Zen Habits, has been up for one year.
2. He has sign a publishing deal and will have a book published by next year.
3. He has launched a new blog about Writing called Write to Done!
His writing about self improvement has changed my life in the last year and now his announcements are all a big deal to me and many others who he has helped. I take no shame in seeking means of self help. I advocate everyone improving themselves as much as they can without any vanity.
I was just linked to this video via CopyBlogger. It is a great example of why I love Apple. Their ideology fits their products and their products in tern fit their ideology. Be sure to share this video with friends if you like it.
Though I have been working on my company with my business partner for over 2 years now, I have held the safety net of a part time job to ensure I could pay for my college.
Two weeks ago today I resigned with two weeks notice at my part time job. It was a great, liberating, and very scary feeling.
Today, I am happy to announce I am fully self employed. I am ready to take on the big bad world of self reliance.
To be honest—though I am very happy, it is scary. I still have the bills to pay (especially credit cards) and it will be a long time until I am financially stable, but we are making enough to maintain my lifestyle now that we have grown our business and I have simplified my needs.
I want to thank my girlfriend for supporting me with this decision, all my former co-workers (and now great friends), Ron Johnson for getting me started, Jestine Chakkumcal (my business partner) for putting up with me, my clients and readers, and all those who’s writing have really guided me through this dangerous road including Guy Kawasaki and Leo Babauta from Zen Habits.
So where do I go from here?
I plan to continue to grow my media design company, Clarity Multimedia. I plan to continue writing on blogs and in print and now with more time, I am hoping to have my new novel done by the end of this year. Though my goals are lofty, I think I can make it happen now.
P.S. I have more time for work now so if you need web design, blog theme design, blog articles, logo design, print media or anything else listed on this page, then hit me up. 
Well, 2007 was quite a year for me. Here is a really quick wrap up.
I have a lot of things on the boiler now. As mentioned above I am focusing on fewer projects and and making them as quality as I can. Here are some thing to expect in 2008.
Welcome to 2008! Let get this year started right and make great change in the world.
