I'm on the verge of quitting my job to take on my side-project store full-time. Have come across some great eCommerce related info on how to make the transition from hobbyist to business owner. But really want to hear from actual business owners in all industries who've done it successfully or unsuccessfully.
  1. How did you know when it was the right time to leave your job, or other projects to give all your time and energy to your side project?
  2. Were you making enough profit to cover your expenses?
  3. What are some other great resources that helped you take the leap?
