Starting a new chapter in one’s life is always a bittersweet experience. The feeling of leaving something behind is often a difficult one, but the knowledge of continual growth and evolution more than makes up for the wistful feelings of nostalgia of turning the page.
As of this week, I’ve moved on from my position at Fuel Industries. Over the past three years, I’ve been a part of some amazing projects, worked with some insanely creative people, and learned a lot about the industry and about the importance of pushing the boundaries of creativity in everything I do. I enjoyed my time at Fuel, but the time has come to keep moving forward.
I’ll be unveiling the details of my evil plans over the next few weeks, but I’ve decided to return to the entrepreneurial ranks and launch my own company under the name Fat Canary Communications. For now, I’ll be focusing on developing web and public relations strategies for a core group of clients with some help from a few colleagues, with the goal of growing the team as things progress.
Anyone who has ever left the safety of a full-time job with benefits to build a new company from the ground up will tell you that it’s as terrifying as it is rewarding… but in the end, nothing good comes without risk. Now that I’ve begun a new chapter, the excitement of filling the pages ahead is a great feeling.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
- Walt Disney
No matter what you do, always keep moving forward.
