Dear Humanoid/Tim,

Thank you for adding your thoughts to this post of mine! I didn’t think anyone would respond to this thread anymore, but I felt the need to return and re-read the responses others have left already.

I like your advice about giving the business a go for half a year, and then re-evaluating if things are working out, or not working out. I’m aiming to quit my 9-5 in early January 2018. Excited yet scared still, but I feel it’s something I need to do. And I feel like I’m nearly ready, or at least more ready than when I first posted about this.

I’ve learned so much in the past few months, and a lot is happening within the next month that I hope will bring me more clarity and confidence.

But you are right–I don’t want to lie on my death bed with regrets of not pursuing something I felt so compelled to do. Again, thank you for your words.
