I quit my day job at the production company here locally, and presented two weeks notice... I was tired of being bullied around by my boss, and not getting paid nearly of what my skills represented.

So I've moved on and am expanding my business... Current Web Clients & DJ's let it be known I now have more time to dedicate to you, so this is a win win for everybody :)

(I'm finally a full timer DJ now ;))

Way to stick it to 'em, Brian!

:thumbsup:
 
I didn't know...

...that Brian even had a day job... why'd he quit? :sqrolleyes:
 
You are certinaly a smart young man Travis you will do OK for yourself. I have been completly self employed since 91 and probably 3 or 4 years before that when I was working for others I always had something else going on the side that guaranteed I wouldn't starve to death if I got fed up with the BS

It hasn't been all sunshine and lollypops but there have been more good days than bad and my family and I are the only ones I have to awnser to

Remember BOSS is a 4 letter word :sqrolleyes:
 
Congrats to you. It's a positive move. I hope to go down this road shortly. I expect a pink slip from the day gig in august sometime. I currently paid down all debt and I will now focus on my business plan for the 4th quarter.
 
I'm going to keep names & company names out of it (since he is/was a prominent member of the DJ community), but I really felt I had to leave, seeing such business practices which I consider unfair to the customer, employee moral doesn't exist. The very same company failed to return phone calls, or answer the phones, I was afraid to answer the phone, much less not know what to say, boss was always telling lies to the client. Same boss has 6 reports to the BBB for various things, which mainly is his fault.

Don't get me started on accounting! Sometimes in life, you learn how NOT to run things based upon what others do, and its hard to see that happen... And you just hope you don't get influenced by the bad things and take them to heart, but it is about time for me to go. It is sad that i'm leaving, I never bagged groceries like a normal kid, I went straight into this job at 13, and learned everything I could, plus more outside of the job.

So he really was just a nest for me to grow in, but I eventually spread my wings and flew.

And BOSS spelled backward is a double SOB. :D

Congrats on your decision, my friend. When you run the business yourself, you no longer need to be concerned with knuckleheads messing things up.

Be advised ~ managing your own business doesn't mean you'll have no more bosses. To the contrary, every customer is a potential boss. Some of 'em can get downright nasty. Don't allow 'em to run your business... just learn from the customers and set your priorities to keep them happy.
 
Travis: You're a smart young man with a wealth of knowledge. I have no doubts of your success in business and life in general.

Onward and upward and don't look back (because you've already been there.)

Good Luck!
