And congratulations on 10 years beyond the rat race. What you say about life's ups and downs resonates with me. I think there's a fantasy in some quarters that deciding to work on your own terms is a breeze, but that's not my experience either. Working with complete integrity doesn't stop the bills needing to be paid or mean that you escape the realities of the markets. However, living life on one's own terms means that one is totally alive to each experience. And there's something as thrilling for me in that as there are scary moments too! Welcome to the tribe, Ali!

I love that phrase "a niggling feeling of living someone else's idea of the way life <em>should</em> be". Congratulations on listening to the voice that knew that was the case and on grabbing the opportunity to live your own! Cheers :) Thanks, Gee!

It has been a hell of a journey with many ups and downs along the way but there has never been a moment that I have regretted it. Your phrase New Work Pioneer is new too me but based on your definition you can count me in this tribe.

What was the kick-start? For me, it was being very comfortable but with a niggling feeling that I was living someone else's idea of the way life should be. So I changed pretty much everything relished the growth and development that I continue to experience. Wonderful and heartening to see this accurate depiction - thank you!
