I know that you started your biz when you were a wee one (according to this self-proclaimed "old lady"), but your path & your story has been so inspiring for me! Thanks for showing me where I can end up if I continue "hustling" (I love that you called me a hustler! Now I got that catchy song in my head....) @Angelique - Yes, yes & yes! Even though I'd love to say, "I'm leaving my job! The sun shines on me always! Sprites call my name & trees sprout money when I pass them!" there is still fear & stress wrapped in with the jubilation. The thing is, the jubilation is so, well, jubilational that it shrinks those Fear & Stress Vampires to little elves. And have you seen a vampire elf? So not scary. And I promise I'll continue to share the scary pieces as well as the jubilationary (I am so making up my own forms of "jubilation" - it's fun!) pieces while I travel along this path. Thanks for joining me! @Melissa - I promise you, you're going to write a Letter to your Future Self in 2011 or 2012 or 2013 or 2020 & in it you'll talk about leaving your job. Plant the seed & start dreaming about it. Even if you're doing nothing <em>but</em> dreaming about it, it'll help the plan take shape & give you a lil' kick now & then to take it out of DreamWorld & put it in MelissaWorld. You can so do it! @Jess LC – Thank YOU, my friend!

Thanks for doing what you do, and for believing in yourself, which in turn helps us all believe in ourselves that much more. Something like that is in my "Letter to my Future Self"... maybe one day I can make a post like yours. Best of luck. Congratulations, Michelle!

I am so happy for you! It was so great to see your reaction in video, I always love those the most :). I totally know what you mean about trusting and being scared, it's definitely a balance while being self-employed. You have hustled so hard up to this point, I can't wait to see where it all takes you in the future! Love, Jess! Congratulations, my friend! I am so happy for you! It was so great to see your reaction in video, I always love those the most :) .

I totally know what you mean about trusting and being scared, it's definitely a balance while being self-employed. You have hustled so hard up to this point, I can't wait to see where it all takes you in the future!

Thank you, thank you for them! @Zoe - My Dad's funny - he's so excited about this! It is super awesome to have my family really being on board & rooting for me.

I'm so very pleased for you, and even though it took a week longer than you hoped, the next two weeks will fly quicker than you can imagine, and before you know it, you'll be unemployed - in the very best way possible!
