About

This blog is about helping technical professionals take control of their career - or really their ability to earn an income. Like so many of you, when I started to work in the corporate world after getting a degree (in my case in engineering) I found the work and the corporate world un-fulfilling - and many times down right meaningless. While I liked the things I did at work, the environment left a lot to be desired. Over a short time I morphed out of the new and excited engineer who was ready to change the world into a person who spent their day going to meetings for the sake of meetings and working to meet measurements that I had no idea how they mattered to customer service.

What worked for me? Realizing that I was in fact in business for myself. My job was not to work for company X or Y and get paid while doing a job - but instead everything I was doing was about earning a living. Some of that living may come by way of a “job” - but I had to look at that job as just one of my sources of income and one set of customers I was serving. I found a way to get freedom - to get control of my own time. I hated showing up at 8 and leaving at 5-or whenever. It just was not for me.

I also found freedom with money. Not that I am about being rich, but money can have a major impact on buying freedom! And, I found out to do these things and take control was EASIER than I had every imagined.

But my ultimate freedom has come from knowing Jesus Christ. That freedom money cannot buy!

Now you know where I am coming from. So this blog is to share with you the things I teach in my entrepreneurship classes and the concepts I use in coaching. And of course - the things I am sharing the new things I learn everyday! And a lot of them I learn from people like you!
