I gave my employer of many years two weeks notice that I will be leaving. My reason is that I am taking time off from 9-5 work to pursue my own business ideas. I am, of course, very excited. I am ready to give it everything I have and to succeed one way or another!
One thing I did not expect is that EVERYONE seems to keep complimenting me on how "brave" I am and how I should be commended for being willing to assume such "risk". It's strange to me, as I have not given much detail to anyone about my business idea, and I really do not see myself as being brave or even taking some insane amount of risk either. I have income for around a year in the bank and I have a lot to offer a company if I were to decide to re-enter the 9-5 world. I was even told I could return to my current company if desired.
I realize I am risking my time and some money, but my real fear is never taking the chance for REALLY living life and breaking out of the "normal" lifestyle defined by mediocrity. I do plan to start an INSIDERS/progress thread once I finish out my current position.
I just thought I would share this. Although, I never gave it much thought, I guess I did not expect so much of this reaction from people.
