On Being in Charge

August 20th, 2009

I typically like being in charge. Especially on projects where I have the control and can surrender portions of it at my discretion. I think I have a good process for the cradle-to-grave project planning and although sometimes I get sidetracked on the execution if I am the only one doing it, I am typically good with divvying up tasks.

I hate being in charge when I am really just the person to blame when the f-ed up system doesn’t produce the results people are expecting.

This leads me to believe that the type of job I should have is an independent one. Like owning my own business. No partners, no upper management. Just me. And then once it gets big enough to warrant an employee, someone to work under me.

On one hand, the thought is exciting. Working at my own pace. Creating with my own hands.

On the other, it is crazy. How could I ever make enough money to survive? How do I even get started?

Lately the dreams of a different career have dominated the larger portion of my days. I wish I could find a way to bring them into fruition.
