Burned out of a developer/manager role at a web agency here in Melbourne, Australia. Took 3 months off with no income and exclusively read books that inspired me. Started a development company of my own with no money. Got enough work to employ a junior dev and mentor her up to (close to) mid level. Six months later, we're in a local shared space working on some fun projects, with enough cashflow to begin work on our own product, with a rule that we don't work more than 38 hours a week. I count myself lucky.
