You hit on a really good point about goals, because looking back on starting my business 3 years ago, I realise I was defining my goals by that stupid, idiotic business plan document which the bank insisted on seeing before they’d let me have my account.

I’m in the process of “rebooting” my business and the first step has been forcing myself to define my business *for myself*, not for an artificial external definition.

If that makes any sense.

Thanks AJ

Actually, even if I did technically “quit” the business, I would still code. I can’t *not* code. I’d be lost! So I’d still be running this site – I wouldn’t know what else to do with myself if I didn’t

But thanks so much! I appreciate it!

I stopped by to get your link to your site because I modified your Better text widget for one of my themes and wanted to give you credit for being the original creator of this widget (you did the hard part). I then noticed you are changing direction in life here and I really and honestly hope it works out for you. All I can say is definitely one day at a time and baby steps as you put it. I read your other post too relating to this and knowing when to call it quits….a lot of very good points of knowing when it’s time. I got into theme design and development just over a year ago because of adapting changes in the economy and life. My biggest mistake was designing for two major cms platforms only to realize now that it was way too much. So I am making some casual changes to fix that decision I made a year ago. Anyway, your article is a very good one and here is a recommendation: Submit that to copyblogger.com and even to smashingmagazine.com

So on that note, I wish you luck and hope things go well…just remember you come first.
