<prompt> Human: Hey guys. This is a dilemmaquestion that has been troubling me for a few weeks now. I realize its pretty case by case and a broad question in general but here goes: Im a single 26M and started a small online retail business back in May of last year. At first it was more of a hobby and a it would be nice to make a little cash on the side thing. After me becoming more familiar with the products Im handling and learning more about how to sell in general things have sorta taken off. Here are the profits by month: May: 1160June: 1800July: 1840Aug: 1560Sep: 1420Oct: 1400Nov: 1920Dec: 2180Jan: 4900 !Feb: 3100Mar: 3950 so farI have a fulltime job at a company I have been at for 4 years now. Ive been steadily cutting down my hours so I can invest in my side business and now its at about 160hrsmonth and Im paid about 1700. Its a pretty crappy albeit easy-going and laid back job and there are no visible opportunity for advancementraises. The boss is actually a good friend of mine which further complicates matters. Ive been told I cant cut anymore hours or theyll need to find someone else which is fair enough. My expenses are about 1200 a month. As you can see, since Nov the income my side business generates has been more than my full time job. Ive been struggling with the idea of quitting my fulltime job and growing my side business as my days are packed from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed and Im fatigued. However I also have pretty bad anxiety, am very risk-adverse and the thought of self-employment terrifies me. The thought of not having a set paycheck at the end of every month keeps me up at night. I just cant make these decisions on my own and any kind of advice or stories of personal experiences from people who transitioned from a stable job to self-employment would be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance.  <response>: Longer than ten months. However I also have pretty bad anxiety, am very risk-adverse and the thought of self-employment terrifies me.Keep your day job.
