not at the moment, not even close... but it will come with time. when things are slow, the salary is the first thing that gets cut unfortunately. i could make a 6 figure salary working for someone else, but then i'd be working for someone else. i'm working for me because it is something i wanted to do. i rely on me, i get the rewards, i take the blame but i also get a sense of satisfaction in running my own business. sure it isn't easy, and i'm putting in lots of hours for no extra pay but in a couple years i hope things will be different. it is always hard in the beginning and i'm aiming high and i am the one who chooses if i get there or not by the efforts i put in.

funny how that's all it really takes. people are always asking for the secret to running your own business, but 90% of the time it comes down to your dedication to making it work.

kudos to you man. i hope to do the same in a couple years.
