Hi everyone,

I haven't been on this forum in about 3 years or at least it seems. I want to thank you guys for answering some questions I had and just share the good news that I fired my boss and stopped being a typical 9-5 employee for a company or companies that don't care about me. I was fed up with dealing with being treated like crap by coworkers who for some reason looked down on me. They also complained about the job and chose never to leave or do anything other than bring me down. for 3 years I struggled at dead end jobs and was burnt out and getting sick from all the drama. At one point I almost got in a fight with a guy who was ragging on me for no reason. I would stay an hour late past closing by myself to fix other lazy coworkers messes and straighten up and put tires away and clean up, then show up two minutes late the next day and get screamed at for it even after pointing out all the help I did the night before. I can't deal with this. Not to mention how they gave me crap jobs and always promised more pay but never would.I could't even pay my bills so I had nothing to lose if starting my own business. I quit and it's been tough but I am now the owner of a small solo lawn care landscaping company Called Top Notch Property Service LLC. I started my business last year and have learned so much. I dream of someday having the business produce enough that I can get into real estate during the off season/winter months and start burring houses to rent out. I've learned so much being my own boss and for me its perfect. I still work my tail off and need to eventually hire help before I burn out but it's amazing. I work with great clients, I am constantly busy and I am so excited I don't have to be talked down to by anyone ever agian. I"m free to work when I choose. however much I choose. I am studying podcasts while I work when I used to literally get screamed at for doing so at my job. It's a great feeling. I also used to install the mulch at the place I worked and it took me all day. I"de earn like maybe $100 or less as a mechanic at a tire shop. So I just did my first mulch job this year (similar sized job but working for myself now) while listening to my headphones studying and earned $500. for about 8 hours worth of work. The Freedom is amazing. To heck with working for a bad boss and negative co workers. Hope you all are doing well so excited to be back on here.
