Curious to know what people are doing and what they've done to make things work. I quit my 8am - 6pm job to take a 30 hour a week early morning job so I'd have more time to do my own thing and it's worked quite well for me. I'm currently on contract with a local university / teaching hospital and they're offering me full time work if I want it, but I really like my current 6am - 12pm relaxed work week as I'm only obligated to be on site for 4-6 hours a day as long as they can reach me on my cell phone at any time. I'm currently using money I got from selling my pressure washing company to fund a energy management company I've been working on starting but theres no way I could run a company like that and work 40-50 hours a week full time and have any amount of free time. Along with this I already have close to 10k spent on equipment and certifications.
If I had a good idea I'd think about taking the job and dropping my current plans in favor of something more laid back, I'm not in business to get insanely rich. My goal has been and always will be to earn six figures a year with a semi relaxed life style and I've been achieving that goal for the past 3 years with a relatively good work life balance. If I took the full time job with the University I'd need to make 20k-25k extra a year to reach my goal.
The other option is to leave my current job and work for myself full time although that may mean taking a overall pay cut over the next 2-3 years as I get established and I'd also lose that "guaranteed" income.
Lets hear what other people have done, or what they're trying to do.
