Hi Rob,

I sort of did it in a round about way.

I quit a well paying to job to do nothing first. I did have the intention though that after quiting that job I wouldn't ever work for anyone else again. I didn't have a business idea in mind, but was trading the stock market and involved in property, and was pretty open to business opportunities so just kind of knew something would come up.

Anyway, it was a big income drop (lots to none really) but I did it due to the fact I hated my job so much. Shift work and customer service where we were often treated like dirt by our customers. Also working far too many hours, left me too tired to do anything but sleep after work and on my days off. It just got to the point where it wasn't worth it and I wanted to have more of a life.

I Have to say I am much happier now and my life is more fulfilled than it ever was back then. I thought I would miss the money, but I got over that very quickly.

How about you? Are you in a position where you are looking at making the shift?
