Time to Resign and Focus on Side Hustle/Business?

[telly123]

Hi all,

I'd be interested to get different perspectives on my current situation.

Since my initial post to the forum, my side hustle has really picked up, to the point where it once again exceeds my jobs wage.

At present my life is dominated by my day job, side hustle, limited time with my daughter (due to being divorced from the mum) and keeping in shape.

Over the last couple of months I've been becoming more twitchy about life in general (40 next year so possible midlife crisis 😀). I've been content/satisfied to keep my head down and grind when going through the separation, but don’t want life to keep passing me by, so something has to give.

I love the side hustle, but I don’t see it lasting forever or being the end goal. The end goal being a proper business of some sort.

I'm leaning towards quitting the day job so I can rinse matched betting whilst it's still around, spend more time with my daughter before she goes to school next year and also start to look for opportunities to offer value to others (start a business).

For full disclosure, financially I'm not in a bad place. Mortgage is covered with funds in the bank, plus £100k on top. Low outgoings in general.

My job is overpaid and fairly straightforward - £45k + 5k bonus. Market rate in my area is around 25-30k - generic desktop support.

Each day I seem to wake thinking I'm going to quit, then self-doubt starts to creep in - what happens if side hustle ends in 6 months, do I have what it takes to think of business ideas and deliver. But then I think, I'm not in a bad place financially, this is a great chance to spend more time with my daughter and get off the mundane scripted treadmill of life.

On the one hand I think I need to grow a pair, back myself, get rid of the scarcity mindset and just hand in my notice. On the other hand I feel am I being irresponsible leaving a relatively well paid job (for my area) without actually having any solid business ideas in place.

People around me say I should go for it - decent financial position, very strong work ethic, love learning/researching . I believe the extra time will give me the chance to research opportunities, work on creativity etc. I have a good network of contacts in the area, so worst case could always get another job (albeit lower wage, probably) in a few years, but that would be the last option.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
