Any Regrets About Jumping???
Here is an answer posted to the question “Any Regrets About Retiring Sooner?” at a private financial forum to which I belong. I thought the question applicable here regarding making a JumpToConsulting.
When my business partner was dying from cancer, I asked him if he had any regrets about our business. He replied with an ironic chuckle, “Maybe one. Perhaps we should have started the business sooner.”
This is not a sad story. We shared 28 years working together as partners in a small engineering consulting practice. We had a ball, and enjoyed the independence so much we often joked we were already retired. We both hit Financial Independence a few years after starting the business, but kept going just for the fun of it. BTW, we also took time off to enjoy life along the way.
Just suggesting you not wait too long to follow your dreams, retirement or otherwise. As the old saying goes, “Looking back, one does not regret what they did as much as what they did NOT do.”
The forum is an extension of a public blog esimoney.com (Earn-Save-Invest) where readers share their goals and successes with financial independence. The blog includes over 300 interviews with millionaires, where we share what we did and how we did it. The 300 interview represent well over a half billion dollars of self made wealth. Check it out here.
While the blog is free, the forum has a fee and is currently closed, but it does open up once or twice a year. ESI has plenty of practical information for those interested in financial independence. Consulting is just one path.
Life is short… Have no regrets…
