Have you left Corporate America for a full-time career in REI?

Hey guys,

I am getting ready to do my first flip pretty soon and spending all my free time building up my business, North Star Homes, and looking for properties. But the 60+ hours I put in at a job that increasingly fits me like a cheap suit (not well at all) plus starting this other biz is kinda killing me. My wife is joining me in this venture, so that is fantastic, but...How many of you have made the leap from Corporate America, or any other job, to REI. What was you criteria for making the change? How long did it take you? Has life been better since making the jump?

Not looking for a how to, because we're all in different stages in life with different goals, different risk tolerances, etc. Just want to hear some stories.

Thank you,

Will Fifield
