Failures? Success stories? Was it worth it? I've been giving this a lot of thought recently. Of course that would mean I wouldn't have time to post on TD in the day which would be a win win for everyone :ZING!: :rimshot:

i wish i would have had the balls to start my own pharmacy.... or the capital.... either way, it'd be fun to be my own boss on the "work" side of things, but i'd hate/fear the "business" side....

Yup and it was an epic failure, the housing market crashed about a year after I did and I lost an amount in the 6 figures.

I quit my high paying sales job to go off and do my own thing 8 years ago. Best descision of my life. It was a very risky move but has paid off tremendously.

I went from a consulting firm, to a very big company. Now, that consulting firm wants me to come back and be the branch manager. Don't know wht to do, honestly.

I did.
For me, it was what I had to do because I did not enjoy the "corporate" mold.
It took at least 3 yrs to stabilize after enduring hardships. From there, opportunities increased tremendously. 20 yrs into self employment this year!
And yes, all great things are worth the time, dedication, study, practice, failure, and lack of sleep. Worth.

I wouldn't call it "high-paying" which is why I started my own firm.
I enjoyed it, but could not generate enough business. My field is incredibly crowded and if you don't have enough money to reach a critical mass of advertising, you might as well not try.
But, I definitely enjoyed being my own boss - for awhile.
