I have long wanted to do my own thing but never seen the path to doing it. I have some great ideas but not the $$ to implement them.

But I know many who have. If you think you can do - go for it!

If your 'sales role' is 9-5, you are not ready to run your own business.

There is absolutely no way in hell to do both. You have to be funded, or be willing to survive eating dirt, both literally and figuratively.

Currently building out a side business which will hopefully be my full-time in 3 years. The best advice I can give you is that the first steps are the hardest and actually doing it.

Really is, first year in business we'll probably do 30k-40k in revenue which is above our original target. we have had to spend quite a bit to get here and hopefully we can increase rev 50% next year

As long as you got the required cash to start up+motive+excited to take risks and make profits then definitely go 4 it, that simple!
