Hi folks
I was self-employed for about 30 years.
Things slowed down, I had an opportunity at a (business related)company. I took it. Moved up the ladder fast.
Due to economic changes (as effects us all) this may impact my employment in the upcoming 1-2 years
 
I have the itch to strike out on my own again.
 
After being an employee (project coordinator now for almost 3 years)  I took it upon myself to educate myself, in a number of areas. i took courses in project management, communication and I am trying to educate myself on improving my leadership skills as well.
 
I am well equipped (I think) to do this again. I just have to get motivated, and learn to allot time after working hours to get started.
 
I hope to contribute a lot, as well as ask a lot of questions.

Ripped,

Sounds like you may be looking at self-employment again.  If so, you may want to check out a helpful Business Blueprint that my legal colleague and business partner put together that has been recommended by more than a dozen state agencies.   It may assist you in today`s world of the internet.

Welcome Ripped,
 
You sound like you are way ahead with experience and knowledge, than many that want to start out.  And you`ve done it before! I agree, you`re well equipped.  Time from the job might seem tough, but hopefully you can make time for the next important venture in your life. Do you know exactly what it is you want to do next?
