Hello Corey and welcome to Lynn's. It is one of my favorite hang outs.
I am with you on being sick of working for other people. Instead of that
I now enjoy working with other people.
I decided to stop working for others almost three years ago and I have
never looked back.
You want constructive chat, then you have arrived at the right place. Just
start reading, asking and sharing. You will have more feedback than you
will know what to do with.
I am happy to say that I have learned more from Lynn and Mike along
with other members in the few months that I have been here than in my
previous two and half years online trying to do it all my self.
