Just to make things perfectly clear for those that see leaving the office as trying to take an easy option or to escape one’s “life”.

If anybody thinks that jumping off the treadmill that is the working week is all about taking a lifelong vacation with no real responsibilities then think again. It is the complete opposite!

The only stories you hear of people who change their lives in this way are the success stories, so of course it all sounds great. It’s hard work, it takes years to come together and I am only just learning this myself. Stupid or what eh? I’ve also learned a few things about myself already as I stand at the starting line thinking about how to go about all this, trying not to get discouraged seeing so many so far ahead of me. I must stop thinking about this as a race and concentrate.

Well this is going to be a bigger job than I imagined, but anything worth doing isn’t easy, so I’ve got to get my head down and start improving on my ability to create quality website content.

I said this blog was going to be a testing ground and it is. The quality of this site is likely to be all over the place and, for a while pretty boring because it’s literally where I’ll be making all my rough notes preparing! This could prove to be a really interesting thing to read or totally off-putting, so lets see.

I’m already impressed with the number of unique visitors to this site already and I have done no web promotion or even any work on getting this blog into search engines. I haven’t even thought of any keywords apart from “leave the office”!
