re: Folks who left their employment to pursue their own company/self employment .....

Wife’s self employed business exploded and she needed help with the administrative side. I was also getting burned out with the stress and demands of my career in the offshore oil industry and was looking for ways out. Although scary at the time to leave it, it was the best decision I ever made and life is much better now.

Not having to worry anymore about being fired, laid off, injured, or killed was the highlight of the decision.
