Now in the middle of my second year of self-employment, I can say it’s worth it. I’ve actually been puzzling out just this issue on my own blog. A few weeks ago, I began writing a series called “Passion Pays the Bills” and it’s kind of a summary of the steps you take to start doing what you love (and still pay the rent).

As we say in the music biz, “break a leg!”

Everything is hard in its own way.

I have had jobs that were so awful for me that I became physically ill on a regular basis – I had bronchitis for two months, for crying out loud! Nausea, fever, headaches, and so on. I thought something was wrong with my health, but medical studies showed I was fine. Oh, the power of the mind and of our bodies! It’s a pain in the ass sometimes… but it’s wise, too!

So congrats on that big leap!! You know what is best for you.

@darrah – Wow. I am covered in goosebumps after reading your comment. Thank you so much for sharing this. Big cheers to you for deciding to take that step. It’s a big one (I did the same thing back in June), but by taking it, the universe (or whatever name fits for you) seems to take a step toward us, as well. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you’ll let us know how it goes.

First of all, congratulations! I know what a huge decision this must have been and am truly inspired by what you have done. I have struggled with many of the things you mentioned in your post. Word-for-word, I completely related to what you wrote.

I wanted to let you know that your post inspired me to take a big step today. I’d been pondering the idea of asking my boss if I could go to part-time for several weeks. My gut is telling me that something needs to change and all signs point in that direction. When I sat down at my desk this morning and read your words, I knew that today was the day.

So thank you. I’m not sure what’s going to happen next, but I do know that I’ve taken a step in the right direction. Thanks for putting a fire under me at the exact right moment.
