I left a six figure job voluntarily to do my own thing. Before I left, I was working late nights, sometimes until 2 or 3am. I liked the job, but was unfulfilled. Fast forward three years, and I am now on my own in a successful startup that I own. I'm making about the same amount in income. And I sometimes stay up just as late at night working. So why leave, you ask? Freedom. I make my own hours. I work for myself. When I win, I win for ME. When I lose a deal, I lose for ME. My passion has increased one hundred fold, and I sleep soundly at night knowing that I am in control of my own destiny.
