[2.7RACER]

Through out my career there were times when I wasn't happy. Fortunately these were small issues and soon passed.
However near the beginning of my work career I found myself in a position where the issues I faced were not small and did not go away.

After some soul searching, I put in my notice. I did not have anything lined up. Within days I was free. My life was mine.

Within a short time I had a couple of job offers. One from a company that did busness with my previous employer. They were reluctant to raid customer talent. Once I had broken away I was fair game.

I later found myself located at the main office outside Detroit. I'm a California boy. The midwest culture was a problem for my family and myself.

I left a good job and returned to California at the urging of my wife. Again with nothing lined up.
I was rehired by the company I left to do sales work in California.

I was a tech guy. Not a marketing guy. It was an interesting opportunity as well as a huge challenge.

15 years later I retired after making more money and friends than I ever dreamed possible.

The moral of this story?

Do not let fear control your life. Failure is always possible. Success is hiding behind all that fear.
If you are truly not happy, do something about it. Life is too short.
