Feeling Like a Success
I’ve been running Egg for five years now. It’s been a rollercoaster ride. Most of that time, I’ve done all the work: writing, looking for new clients, marketing and admin. Slowly I’ve been able to bring on a few freelance writers to help me.

A few months ago, we got a new client. Work for them has steadily increased, to the point that I’m working toward having 4 writers do the work. Four! That’s the most I’ve ever had.
And I took a very big step recently. I’ve handed over the complete administration to one of my writers. It’s a huge step in trust, to know that she can handle the client and won’t make my company look bad. It’s a huge step for a control freak to remove myself from the equation completely.
I feel amazing.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted, and I feel like this is a good step toward more growth. Once I see that I’m not needed in every project we take on, we can do a lot more.
It frees me up to work on the projects I love doing, and it gives my writers more responsibility (and money).
Life is good.
