Question speaks it all, please be truthful in your answers as I work full time and want to see if others have done it too.

    If you don’t have kids yeah, I’m doing it. If you do have kids please do not ‘cat’s cradle’ them starting a small business.

    It is, but the work/life balance is going to be fucked for a while, putting it bluntly. If you’re willing to put in the work it can definitely happen.

      +1.

      It’s so easy. Just look at others doing it and you know the answer is yes. Everything is possible.

    Have been doing this for a while. Corporate job and doing real estate on the side - mainly buy/fix/rent/maintain. Rentals are relatively passive management and when I need something fixed I have my list of dependable contractors.

    Working on starting up a business consulting firm now, but more prep and networking vs doing work yet - plan to transition full time next year.

    No, no one in the history of the planet has EVER done this. You either work full time and go right to sleep (don’t worry about the other 6 - 8 hours, we’re not good at math based on this question) OR you work on your business.

    Good luck 👍🏽

    Depends on your situation…

    If you have children/family it’s the only option. If you’re young and have parental/family support. Then you can devote full time to your business and only your business.
