I really am enjoying what I’m doing in both my business and with my part time gig at Lending Club. I seriously feel like I have the best “job” of all of my peers. And most of the time they think so as well.
But damn, I’ve worked my butt off these last two years to get to a point to where I really enjoy what I do for a living. And to be able to have flexibility there as well.
I was travelling on a train this week for work, and an older lady (who probably overhead two business calls I was on, as well as my furious keyboard typing) asked,
“Are you having any fun”
To which I replied, “Yes, I actually really like my work”
We ended up chatting a bit later and she explained that she and her husband and sold a insurance agency that they built up a few years back and are now retired. She looked in her mid-40’s at most.
That’s so cool. I don’t know what it is about entreprenuership, but to me, it really seems like the best way to build wealth, you know? I know it’s not for everyone, but I just can’t get over how much more I’d rather invest in myself and my business than invest in stocks. I just doesn’t make sense to me.
