I absolutely agree John Wesley. I spent 28 years moving up the corporate ladder of an airline and when things got tough after 9/11, they said bye bye with pretty much nothing after all that time. So, in a flurry of fear, I got a job very quickly with a family owned company until they decided that family members probably knew more than anyone else. So when they informed me that only family members could go higher, I had a real awakening. Got to looking, found a great opportunity, retired my husband and myself within 90 days and that was almost 3 years ago. Now, I am the CEO, my time is my time, I work when right for me (about 20 hours per week), live at the beach, travel and enjoy my life. That is what it is all about. When you work for someone else, they own you (my last boss even told me where to go on vacation in case they needed me I would be close!) Now we travel the world, and no one can stop us!
My point is, a job - regardless of the level, is all about renting yourself out. Self employment is a wonderful thing. It is a matter of getting your priorities in line and allow the LOA to bring you the right opportunity.
Live your life on YOUR terms and no one else's.
