You’re in business for yourself but not by yourself. Congrads Tim on your newly found freedom. I love to hear stories of newly found entrepreneurship being an entrepreneur myself. Maybe Mrs. Stewart you could write a post about franchising, feel free to contact me if it’s something you’re interested in:) Just throwing this out there, but another way to get out there on you own for some of you guys maybe franchising.

Yesterday was my last day as an employee. I'm now officially self-employed. I made it through my last day as a wage slave. And it turned out my last day wasn't as dramatic as I had thought. I feel the same as I did yesterday. Only today, I have options. I definitely plan to write more about my feelings and experiences. Thanks for the encouragement. -TimK Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Yesterday was my last day as an employee. I’m now officially self-employed.

When I look back it was fear (of failure, my abilities and uncertainty) that held me back. The support and wise words of my wife Lindsay have finally turned the tide. I've not yet escaped, but my tunnel to freedom is nearing completion and my path in the open air is now clearly marked. I look forward to telling the story of my own transition in the near future. Good luck. Congratulations Tim and many thanks to yourself and Pamela for yet more excellent inspiration.

I remember when I left my comfort of Vice President of Biotechnology company over a year ago. I was confident, but scared. My prayer was authenticity and confirmation-not success. I figured I would humbly ask God for the first and I would be responsible for the success part. Above all-I wanted the feeling that I had courage to make my passion a full-time thriving career. I decided to trust that still-voice in my heart as I earnestly searched and confirmed the "What" in my life. I figured this powerful confirmation would guide me, I just had to take those scary steps forward and I would attract abundance. Tim-my thoughts and prayers are with you as you walk in alignment with your life's work. This entry about Tim is really inspiring.

My departure wasn't as calculated (more like what Bryon is saying) but the decision to not go to another job was quite calculated. Good luck J - hope to see a follow-up post here!

My leap was not voluntary, but was prompted by others' inability to run a business effectively, and I was downsized this past summer. My wife and I started a fishing lure business a few years back as a side venture, and it has grown steadily over time. I am now doing it full time, as my wife finishes her degree. It is a scary and exciting thing...as all of my friends are at work today, anticipating a 4 day weekend, and I am in my workshop...at HOME! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I'm trying really hard to remember a couple things in planning the upcoming year. You will have failures. You just need to have more successes (or more substantial successes) than failures. Better to have tried and failed than to never have tried. Better still though to try and succeed. Good luck to Tim and please keep us posted! In terms of the “what if…” doubts, the fear of failure.
