The Day That It Was "One Month In..."

This is my first blog entry. When it became popular, I always wondered, why in the heck do people do that. Just write random thoughts. And who in the heck in gonna read about how somebody found a cock roach in their cereal that morning. Needless to say, I did find a few blogs that I've become quite addicted to. (not everyday addicted) But once in a while, I will go back and check up on the entries. Bonnie Gillespie one of the queens of blogging. I just love her candidness, humor and the need to tell it like it is. She is truly awesome. I love her. Another is LA/NY actor Stephon Fuller. His long ass blog is truly comical. Whenever I'm having a crappy day, I go there and search for all of his "bat" stories and I'm smiling again. And its also given me some insight on the true hustle that it takes to make it in Hollywood. And I love how he always have a positive attitude about it. Thanx Stephon.

So with that in mind, I decided to start to write about my own journey.

It's been one month since I left my studio corporate 9-5 and took my leap of faith. Having a background in technology, I've been used to having a corporate job and job security. Its like a drug. But when you go cold turkey, whew ... man, its something. Its been an interesting month full of emotional ups and downs, but I'm still here. Working for myself and hustling like I never have before. I've gotten six freelance clients in April alone and more are coming in. Its been such a great learning experience to run myself (as an independent contractor and an actress) as a business. I know it will only get better from here.
