It depends on your personality. I’ve been working for 9 years, and I hate corporate drudgery like I hate hell. If I were in your shoes and earning enough off my own business, I wouldn’t think twice about jumping ship. As your company grows, bring on people with diverse skills and learn from them. Even if it worked, I would never trade a few years on the plantation for knowledge to run my own farm. Edit: You have to ask yourself: are you an entrepreneur or not? You might not even know for sure at this point, and it’s okay to change your mind later. However, you have the holy grail of entrepreneurship sitting on your lap right now: a self-made business that pays you enough to live. After you reach that point, your upside is MUCH greater than working for someone else. Read “Founders at Work” and ask yourself if you want your story added to a future version someday. Then read “Dilbert”, and ask yourself which way you’d rather spend your life.
