I just recently had an experience that most entrepreneurs dream of; I finally fired my boss and went out fully on my own.
I'd already started working for myself with my first RE deal, which I posted here. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/real-estate-residential/29711-first-real-estate-deal.html
But I still had the ball and chain of a job up until quite recently. In not so many words I basically told my boss I don't need him or his brood of vipers management team anymore.
It was kinda a heavy feeling at first, knowing you don't have a fall back position, but that passed and it feels great to be able to put my all into this project. I'm working harder and longer hours than I ever had to at my old job and it feels great cause I know that one day soon it'll pay off big, this is the moment I've been dreaming of since I was about 8 years old and I decided RE is what I wanted to do.
I haven't posted here much, but I've been around for awhile, learning lots from you more experienced men, and I thank-you for all your help.
