So today I just left my company that I spent the last 4+ years building. It was a nice run, but I have to move on with my life... It's weird leaving a company you started. I feel like a mother abandoning her child. You want it to grow up strong, and crush skulls, but you just can't be apart of its' development anymore. I may have physically left, but I checked out mentally a year and half ago.

One thing I learned, and I guess it was probably my final great lesson, if there is even one... If you're not happy, change the circumstances, PERIOD. No amount of money in the world is worth misery...

My Farwell Blabble:

There is nothing more beautiful in the world than finality. Knowing a path is closed forever, there seems to be something beautiful if not magical about it. It makes you feel more alive knowing that in the end, everything must end. Makes every moment even more precious than the last.

In the end though, even those that have wronged you, loved you, and even have drawn swords against you, none of it matters, cause we will all end buried in the same ground, forgotten for ages. 100 years from now, they might remember some of us. 500, they'll only remember a couple of us… And in a 1000… well in a 1000 years from now maybe our children's children might read a paragraph about this brief moment in time.

Looking back, It seems foolish now, half the things I did, and the other, down right stupid. But one thing I can say… if they don't remember anything we did…We were here… even if it seems like it was a blink of an eye in the course of time. If I survive these next few moments… When I rise again, from the ashes of the past… I can promise you this… I will not take any prisoners…

till we meet again on the battlefield, I say farewell…​

inb4 tag rape... oh wait. I did that already...

Carry on...

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Not sure if this quote is relevant to your situation, but it usually sets my mind straight when I question my choices.
 
Dear Livejournal, Today I quit my day job.



j/k bro. I know you were fired!




j/k again bro. Outgrowing your own creations is a bitch, or just becoming tired of them. Especially when they continue on after you leave them. I always think of ClickAgents and BlueLithium. Had to be so hard for Gurbaksh Chahal to surrender those (except for the giant liquidation part).

Thank you. Yeah, the company will continue on, it's strong as a rock, it's got my blood and sweat in it after all :).

Time to get back to grinding...​

Jeffrey ... We've had our arguments too, but this time I see where you're argument makes sense... Good nugget of wisdom my friend, rep to you brotha!

As for OP being a faggot... Well it takes balls to post personal experiences in STS, so congrats for having the courage to do so... I'd trust that you did the right thing for yourself, cuz you're a pretty sharp dude and know when to pull the trigger... Just means new beginnings to you my friend, so shine on you crazy diamond

This. I was in the exact same position myself. Built a multi-million dollar affiliate company 4 yrs ago, checked out mentally a year and half ago, then finally resigned from my daily duties late last year, staying on only as an adviser.

Still running campaigns on the side to keep me busy while I figure out what the hell I want to do with my life.

Leaning towards starting a wild animal control & wildlife management business. Would be taking a HUGE paycut but at the end of the day I'm still a redneck and hunting & chasing animals around is something I thoroughly enjoy doing.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy but they can all lick my sweaty nuts. I'm sick and tired of staring at computers all day.

Then there's the question of what to do with all of these campaigns making me bank along with the weightloss & nootropic supplement line that I've yet to run traffic to.
 
So does this mean MBA is coming soon.....................?


j/k Anyways inb4 you go dominate a new niche or some shit.
 
Eventually everyone wants to start something new and explore new paths. Congrats on building a great company! hopefully one day we'll hear some cool stories about all the hustle you put in to make it work. Goodluck with The future stuff bro!
 
From where I sit I see people all the time who are slaves to their circumstances. Literally I am talking people living in poverty.

a. They can't imagine it any differently.

b. More significantly, many feel more safe with their known circumstances as bad they are, then facing something new and unknown.

But these things are true for (almost) everyone at one level or another.

Taking that step through the door takes a lot of courage. Hats off and good luck.
 
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great. When you are seeking to bring big plans to fruition it is important with whom you regularly associate. Hang out with friends who are like-minded and who are also designing purpose-filled lives. Similarly be that kind of a friend for your friends." - Mark Twain


I am honored to be part of this forum, to be part of this community and knowing such knowledgeable people. I am still pretty damn young and dumb (look at my rep huh?), but you guys have taught me a lot during the few months I've been here. One of these lessons was to never create a thread and questioning something that makes people millions.
I admire a lot of people on here for what they have done and for how much wisdom they share each day with other members.

I really love this forum and the entrepreneur path. I still have a lot to learn but I think I am on the right track to learn from WF members ;)

I know that I'm gay for posting this, but I never said this before.

That's so beautiful, bro... But not enough people will see it here, you should start a new thread.
 
One thing I will say, it's not like I'm going to go home and plot my next move. I'm leaving the company to work full time at my other company I started about 2 years ago, but never really concentrated on it. I left it others to control, and they've done a great job, but I've got to take control and hey, who knows where we'll end up. I'll always love marketing, I dunno, it's just one of my passions.

Thank you all for the kind words and wishes of good luck. Here are some tokens of my appreciation!
