My Response to YOUR Reactions to My “Yay! I Just Got Fired!” Blog Post

Great video, Jennifer. Might I suggest that you re-title it so folks will know you're talking about this exciting new venture for the most part, or am I missing something here?

Love the idea of talking about good things that companies/people do. Most of us are quick to complain, but not to praise.

Reminds me of an experience I had in London a few years ago. London Underground were very helpful in locating a lost 19 year old cousin on the system. I wrote them, thanking them for their help, and got a letter back from their PR people actually expressing surprise that someone wrote in to thank them for their efforts.

I've heard the question, "Do dogs like bones?"
NO - Dogs do not like bones! They like steak, they settle for bones!

Glad to see you step up and make the changes in your life and to quit settling.
Love your passion!

Jennifer, great post and follow-up. I am in the same boat as you, although a tad different. I was doing what I was passionate about at night and on the weekends when I wasn't at the 8-5 job. I did that for 2 years until this November when I decided I was worth more than simply a paycheck and decided to leave my full-time. I've been freelancing since while I look for the right fit and I wouldn't change a thing.

Probably not smart to quit without another job lined up, but there comes a time when you realize life is too short and valuable to NOT be doing something you're passionate about and love. So yay! Congrats and best of luck!

You are so right...and I'm so glad you were able to up and leave the job that wasn't fulfilling you. The double-duty can be a killer---and something you can only do for so long. Thank God I am not still having to do that. It's called sweet serendipity! Thanks so much for your comments and well-wishes.

Nice work! Glad you're finding your stride...look forward to chatting with you on the Roundtable!

Thanks Jen. Enjoyed the Roundtable today!!! Looking to do more of that sort of thing. Need someone, just let me now!!! Thanks again. Jen

Love the passion and the vision Jennifer! Keep moving forward in a BIG WAY!

Thanks so much. You bet I will. It will be easy with people like you behind me!!!

Jennifer,
