When I was working for Lightspeed Cash and Playboy I was making great money. At Lightspeed Cash some of our models were making low six figures and I was making a lot more money than them. At Playboy I was making a lot more. But I wasn't happy. At Playboy my day started at 7am when I had to open the office, and my official work day didn't until 8pm at night. After hours there was more work to do remotely. I was missing high quality bonding time with my wife and daughter.
When Playboy let me go I was thrilled. I knew they had planned on closing their office in Sacramento, and was going to be moving everyone down to Southern California. I wanted no part in that.
YNOT offered me a job it was perfect. It allowed me to work from home. I got to spend time with my daughter. I drove my kid to and from school every day for the past ten years - every doctor's visit, practices.... It was great.
I shoot hoops (nearly) every morning, just a half hour or forty-five minutes. I look at the people when I drive to the basketball court in the morning and I have my windows open wide and I'm rocking out and I look at the cars around me and they are all looking sad and windows closed drinking their silly coffee.
I couldn't be happier.
