I made a decent living as a software engineer but I recently quit my 8 to 5 job.
For one, I wanted to be free of the rat race of the daily job. I feel like i'm a hard worker as well so I want to be rewarded for every ounce of effort that I put in. I could be wrong, but I feel like having my own business will accomplish these things.
I don't want to ever to go back to normal job again. As my title says, I am curious: how did successful entrepreneurs, on their way up, cope with the pressures of "making it" when failure didn't seem to be an option?
Or do I have the wrong frame of mind to begin with?
EDIT - to be clear, I do have contracting work w/ full autonomy over my hours so I have some form of income while I'm pursuing this
