When did you know it was time to leave your 9-5 to become your own boss?
Or have you always been your own boss?

Never been my own boss and just recently (2 years ago) became one.
It was time to leave, when I spent 10 years in the stair manufacturing company and learned everything there is to learn about stairs and installing railing. Approached my boss on number of occasions and wanted to help the company by becoming an estimator and part of the managing team, but I was more of an asset in the field or in the shop. And just like that I opened up my own business and started doing business on the side.
