The most significant reason that I resigned from my full-time position and started my own company was a desire to gain control of my time. I was so busy that I felt my work was controlling my life and dictating all of my decisions, and I knew that it wasn’t making me happier. I thought a relaxed schedule would happen automatically when I became my own boss, but it didn’t. Once I stopped spending forty to fifty hours at the radio station every week, I simply added forty hours’ worth (or more) of other events and tasks to my calendar to fill the gap.
