Self Employment

Long time, no blog.

I just ended my first week of self-employment. After 13 1/2 years working in the same office, at the same desk, I've gone out on my own to start my own construction company. I'll be doing the same type of work (commercial remodeling and tenant-finish work), but now I'll be doing it with my name on the letterhead.

It's taken about two months to get my company set up with all the things I need to do business, but I've finally worked through most of them. It's a pretty slow time right now for commercial construction, but hopefully the customer base that I've built over the last 13 years will help get me through the slow times and set me up to be ready when the market returns. It's good to know that all my existing customers have been very receptive and excited by what I'm doing.
