I still have my day job in the corporate world but have tinkering more and more with my side business as the days go on. Hopefully one day, this "hobby" will become a reality and I'll be able to leave the soul-wrenching hell that is corporate America.
Curious when you guys decided to commit to your contracting business? What changed in your life that you felt like it was the right time to go out on your own?

Generally one turns the part-time side business into the full-time main business when the side business is returning both enough to properly support the person, and is returning more than the main business.

My major job had no satisfaction. What was done one day was repeated the next, ad infinitum. On my days off I started working with a general contractor as a carpenter. It was such a joy to finish a job and stand back and say, I built that! I learned enough to help build my own house, working for the same GC, and getting paid at the same time. If I were 40 years younger, I would do it all again.
When I got laid off from the Drywall Company I worked for..Been doing side work(CASH) for years and when I got laid off I went on my own....Now I work for myself...It was time anyway..I only stayed with them that long for the benefits...Wife has good health insurance so now it's not a big deal....HTH....
