It was always my dream to have my own business. I studied and worked hard to get to a position where it was possible. But after several years (in reality after a few months I knew!!) I finally realized I was spending all my time looking/pitching for new business, rather than doing the job I wanted/was good at.
It was a good experience in some ways, I did OK financially (no better or worse than if I'd had a regular job in the field). After stopping the business I'm lucky that I've been able to get another job with little problem.
Starting my new job next week I just feel a bid sad :(
... the dream came true but ...
