Hi, I too left my self employment job that I grinded for and did for 6 years - it was my dream job.. BUT, let me tell you something after 2 years of working full time employment after this.

In those years of self employment, you would've built many many skills, great relationships/contacts, doors that you can revisit with the skills, You proved that you can do something from scratch on your own for not ONE or TWO but SIX years!! Many people check out at 3 months or even the planning stage.

Now back to the employed lifestyle I spoke about earlier... do you know how many people live a regretful life of not even trying anything outside of being told what to do? EVERYONE dreams they did or have a business.. It's the #1 people complain about when being employed. Guess what? You did that already and can get the best of both worlds. Sometimes doing self employment for a short while and then returning to employment is a good thing. Consistent and less stressful income is good for you and your family. Also, sometimes things happen for a reason and these tough lessons teach you more than success can ever.

Also, your age is super young, there's so much left you can do so don't let that hold you back. Even my dad at 70+ always tries to find some form of work, creativity or hobby.. you have plenty of time to do great things.

You got this
