As some of you know, I’m planning my move into full time blogging (heck, I even started busy blogging because of it) but that plans are going to be delayed because my boss asked if it was okay to wait till end of October before I leave.
In a way, it makes me happy that my boss believes my work was important for the company that it would take 3 months to transition me out of my position but in another way, I cannot wait to get started on my new venture!
I have many things planned, one of which is spend a little more time with my wife because a full time job and writing for blogs are pretty much eating up all of my time apart from sleep.
Despite the concerns, I told my boss “OK”. The company has given me all the opportunities that a company can give any employee. I owe it to him to help out.
So this means that I have to wait just a little extra bit to get started. I guess the extra paychecks couldn’t hurt!

Good luck with the full time move. I think it’s great that blogging provide you with enough income to leave your job. For me, blogging will be just a side income for a long time.
Four Pillars: Thanks. I can’t wait to start though! I guess that’s part of being young too!
A Dawn: Thanks. The dot com lifestyle is not as fun as some make it but I’m hopeful!
Pinyo: Thank you! It’s scary and the income is no where near my job but I’ve decided to just go for it.
I’m sure you can go full time if you REALLY wanted to also so it’s all based on what you really want in life!
That’s great you will be able to go to full time blogging! Definitely will be able to spend more time with your new wife!! Is so important with newlyweds! Good luck to you!
Best wishes on the move to fulltime when it comes.
In the meantime, anyway to talk the present boss into a 4 day week or some flextime?
I am sure you’ll succeed in full time blogging. Good luck to you.
