Working fulltime on your own gig is an awesome way to make a living and not everybody has the courage to do it. I did it for a while and found that it requires a lot of disciple and unless you love what you do, there is literally no way that you could continue. Although my efforts didn't pan out but it left me with a desire to make sure that I go back to doing it once I get my life back together.

One of the things that I remember struggling with was to find ways to recharge myself. After starting my project right after college, I was working almost 20 hours a day and it took a toll............ I went down after 5-6 months and doctor prescribed complete rest for a week before I could start working again. Then the same thing happened again and it was as if couldn't help but over-exert myself in my work.

Eventually I had to withdraw due to reasons of health and finances but I learned something about myself. I found that one of the best ways to get my thoughts together was to have a casual chat with my parents. Of course I had to let them know that wasn't there for penetrating questions but just for their company :-) Being the sweet heart people that they are, they always obliged......
