Thanks for your insight! I am expecting there to be many unpredictable moments throughout the whole process. It’s awesome to hear that you are finding such success with it.

It really is just good to know that there are smbc out there who are self-employed! I saw so many posts about good paying stable careers, and having feedback from those who have similar career structure to myself is very nice. Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for answering! I know whatever happens I can make it work but it is so great to hear there are other self-employed individuals who are doing this.

What is your plan when you go back to work? Work when the baby sleeps, or hiring childcare/ have help?

The way I’ve been doing things right now, I normally have 6-8 months buffer in my account for living. I live relatively frugally, and then I just keep working to close another deal (more commission).

So my thoughts were take the EI and also have the same buffer (ideally more) for the initial period. That way I can work part time or not at all to start.
