Jiaying’s Blah-Blah…

I was driving home 10:30 tonight after finishing up with a project in Fremont, tired and starved. All of the sudden I felt a bit of sadness. For the past year, Vivian and I have been working very hard, trying to build a nest for our growing family. We might have a so called Small Business, but there is really nothing “small” about it, sales & marketing, customer service, QA, payroll, cash flow, tax, insurances, bookkeeping, sourcing & procurement, inventories, employee management… we need to be involved in every aspect of the business, and it is exhausting!

For that brief moment on the way home, I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, why are we doing what we are doing? We had nice corporate jobs, although they were also tiring and stressful (in a different way), but the corp life had a sense of “security”, I knew when I was going get paid, and at how much, and at the end of the day, I didn’t have to worry about all the overhead cost and payroll.

We threw all that away, in order to be on our own, and now I am driving home 10:30 at night, tired and starved…
