I burnt out last year just over a year ago.
I shut everything down and went and got a full time job.
It’s only after a year of not working more than 40hrs a week have I realised how close to the wind I sailed (burnout co-incided with some serious health issues).
Now I work 9-5 for a decent wage and have time for my partner, her boy and my hobbies (Chess and cycling).
We are fortunate, we work in an in demand industry, from deciding I just wanted to go work for someone else to getting a job took 9 days.
My point is that if the money isn’t making you happy then take a few weeks off mull over what you want, write it down, put it in an envelope and open that envelope in 3mths, if it’s still what you want then go for it.
The only thing certain in life is none of us have enough time.

I'm going to do this. Thank you. I have a leisure trip planned soon for 2 weeks (first time ever taking >1 week off at a time). I will do it then.

Employ those around you that you trust and that will do well for you. "if you want to do it fast go alone, if you want to go far go with others"
