So I already quit my job…. But it’s not what you think.

I quit my job around two weeks ago at a company I was at for 4 years because I was miserable. I was having anxiety attacks because of the job so I decided to quit as I’m not a person who has ever suffered from mental illness. Since I left I’ve felt great.

I’ve found a job in the same industry they offered me similar pay but the company is much different and the things that would cause my panic attacks are non existent in this new work environment.

Since I’ve been off work though I’ve been looking into ways of starting my own business. My background is B2B sales and I’ve been very successful at it so with the right concept in a business I know I can succeed with the selling piece. Somewhere i can start is by doing photography professionally as I already do this on the side and if I dedicated my time 100% to this I feel like I’ll be able to meet my salary.

My dilemma is whether or not I should just take the leap and dive into my photography business or if I should take this other job in the same industry with less hours and work on my photography until I’m 100% sure I can do this.

I have five months of expenses saved up which leaves me with a little wiggle room at least.

I hate corporate life and my dream has always been to own my own business but at this stage I feel like there’s a lot of research I still need to do and setting up before getting going.

So what would you do in my shoes?
