Nice work.

Keep your eye on the prize and don't let any bullshit derail you this time.

Marty, two things.

First off, I have to echo the sentiments expressed by others here. Work long enough to bank at least 100k. Don't bail out at 50k. As you saw with 36k, 50k isn't going to get you too far. Having a bankroll before starting pretty much any self-funded venture is very important.

Second, you mentioned the "intrusive questioning" as part of the process to get your credentials. Did any of the questioning have to do with forum stuff? Not joking here... I'm seriously wondering that. If so, what did they ask? Did PFA come up?

no none of my internet history was ever a factor

I'm not a felon and have no criminal history other than random traffic tickets etc

I did go to war with a municipality in Oregon over my DUI charges, but as you know, I made them my bitch and all charges were dismissed

DHS had nothing on me

I was never formally interviewed, but my TWIC card being issued took much longer that expected.

Not sure what they were looking for, but its moot now

GL with everything.

As a piece of advice just as you mentioned how money goes fast you might want to grind the job for a few extra months because that could buy you several months more back in Mexico along with giving you a little better of a roll for playing on Stars.

to be more specific regarding the 'intrusive questioning'

some random representative from DHS contacted me on my cell phone 3 weeks after I had paid my fee and submitted my application looking to verify my 'home address' and asked me to confirm my birthday and the last 4 of of my social security number.

I thought it was odd because I was getting emails from them on the status of my TWIC card processing on a daily basis and everything seemed fine

Not exactly sure why after 3 weeks into the process I was getting this call....but I gave the rep my info and my card arrived about 2 weeks later

I'm actually decent at the creative aspect of the business, and started getting pretty good at CSS, but I find it beyond tedious to sit in front of my computer all day uploading images, writing meaningless brain-dead content, and dealing with impatient, rude and demanding clients (big shout out to Robert Pickering)

That particular experience left a pretty sour taste in my mouth, and was one of the the mitigating factors in my decision to get the fuck of website design once and for all.

So trying to grow a small web development company was not an option anymore

Slapping together WordPress sites doesn't make you a web developer any more than dropping Chicken McNuggets into a deep fryer makes you a chef.

I spent over a year in culinary school and shipped out as a Chief Cook and Chief Steward for over 3 years feeding up to 90 hungry marines 3 times a day for 6 months straight.

As far as website design is concerned, I never claimed to be an expert website developer or master coder, but I was competent enough in terms of design and graphics to market my services confidently

'slapping together' WordPress sites isn't an accurate representation of the services I was charging clients for

Hello, Smoking Truth Snake here. A couple of questions:

Where's your dog now?
Why you should rent a car to get to San Diego?

Marty don't start living conservatively now.

Bank 50k and get out of there.

I'd read.

I have said this for some time. When he isn't pissed off he has a self deprecating sense of humor that kills it.

I love the notion of writing it as fiction. No one would believe it anyway.

Great read Tyde.
