Being fired launched me into my own start up..which has been a great thing for me.

biggest thing I learned was you have to pick you battles, and really only stand up for the ones you are passionate about.

though lack of passion in the 9-5 didn't directly lead to my being fired, it pry played a part in it. My boss an I butted heads a number of times, which I know is what lead to my firing. I always had support for every argument, but at the end of the day he was the one in charge. I'm much happier now though! I'm excited to get up and jump in every morning.

when some doors close others open up.
