Post-corporate Adventures
Mar1
David St. Lawrence’s blog title says it all, “Post-corporate adventures”. After being part of a workforce reduction at a Silicon Valley company, he involuntarily retired, but is running a custom woodworking business along with working an occasional business consulting gig. He is at retirement age, and may have been able to retire anyway, but the lessons he shares are applicable to anyone looking for a post corporate life, young or old. He recently wrote an e-book entitled, “Danger Quicksand – Have a Nice Day,”, offering unconventional advice on how to survive in the modern workplace. It has been such a hit that he is now self-publishing it. From running his own woodworking business to self-publishing his book to dispensing advice based on his years of experience, David has provided much inspiration for a life free from a 9 to 5 job.

Thanks for the nice mention.
You are doing a great job setting expectations for a life free from 9 to 5.
Keep that dream alive for yourself and others. I truly believe that this is the direction of the future.
You may end up working longer hours, but it can be in a manner of your own choosing. I often work 12-16 hours a day, but it is on money-generating projects of my own choosing.
When I need time off, I take it and enjoy relaxing until inspiration strikes and I go back to work again. I may even work from 1 -4 am, then sleep until 10am. The internet runs 24 x 7 so I work when I feel like I will be most productive.
The only slight problem is that I lose track of what day of the week it is.
