Anyone self employed?

I was an Operations Manager for a Demolition company here in the NY, NJ area for 15 years. I seen this mess coming and the owner told me to mind my own business and that he had advisors about such things. Well he went from 350 employees to 18 employees quick. He also auctioned off 2/3's of his equipment. That was May of 2008.
Anyway twenty five years ago I graduated from The Audio Recording Technology Institute an Audio Engineer. Worked ten years in a recording studio. Day or Night it didn't matter, I loved it, As Leanna said I had felt I never realy worked a day.
Since I got laid off I opened an internet business www.theonlinemusicproducer.com I now mix and master music online. Things were going real well. More and more work each month, until this month. This month I've received one email and one phone call. Clients often comment and thank me for going above and beyond in my customer service and educating them on techniques for better recordings.
I don't plan on giving up anytime soon. I feel after 25 years of making a living I'm finally pursuing my dreams! Hopefully it will turn into a living. Hopefully.
