Need advice- I earn a good salary

[N/A N/A]

I work for a fortune 500 company and I grew quickly in the company taking on new challenges.I have a good title and earn a 6 digit income.
However, I am very overworked and always in high stress. I usually work on weekends and late at night. People say I am in a great position but I feel I don't have any quality life with family and most importantly I am not my own boss. No time for personal things and tied up at work Monday through Friday. I really like Real Estate and want to start out. I hear these great stories of people starting out with nothing. I have been reading and educating myself on this business for the last 6 months. Any advice that all you successfull RE's can provide to me will be gretaly appreciated. Thank you so much !
