I quit a normal job in 2015 to do freelance consulting. I had no plan, luckily I found two clients for part time work and for the rest of my hours I created a e-commerce site that I operated for myself. That quickly escalated and made more money than in a normal job, but running an e-commerce site isn't much fun.
1.5 years later I joined a startup, with 3 other ambitious guys which was super successful.
The first years was really a lot of fun and work. But over time that changed. Now I have left that startup and I am planning on building another one, just need to find the right ambitious people with a good and realistic business plan.
