Follow your heart.
Believe in yourself.
Seek and ye shall find.
Live what you love.
Dream big.
Be not afraid.
I've said and re-said every encouraging cliche in my head a bagillion times, but now, it's forreal.
I've officially quit my day job, ladies and gentlemen! (Well, I've given my 2 week notice.)
This is quite an annoucement for me ... and one that's been a long-time coming.
It's perhaps the best thing I've ever done, but also, the most terrifying.
The drive, focus and faith in myself that it requires seems overwhelming at times. But, I have to try. And if I fail, I will just get a real job again but never feel like a failure.
The only failures are the ones who never try.
No looking back.
No regrets.
What else??
P.S. On a personal note. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported my shop in the past or posted a comment here. YOU are the reason I am able to do this!! I can never thank you enough.

The quote/cliche that helped me most when I left my day job:
First you jump off the cliff and you build wings on the way down.
Best Wishes!
