Two things you said made me think. You have a family and beautiful wife and want to work 40 hours a week? What do your family think? Do they want you to disappear for large amounts of time, or could they do without the latest trainers to see you more.
A little story to explain where I am coming from. When I was growing up my dad was a builder and we were rich. Holidays abroad you name it, but the thing that sticks in my mind was those holidays were the only time I spent with my dad. Then when the recession hit in the UK, he lost almost everything. We didn’t have nice shiny new things, but my dad was around all the time. These were the best years growing up. I don’t look back and miss the money, but I sure missed him when he wasn’t about.
Having said all this, only you know your financial situation so only you and the family can truly answer this question. Good luck whichever direction you choose.
thank you for sharing your childhood memories. I totally understand that.
It would be a 40-hour week, yes. I was doing the same until a couple of months ago. The upside is that I work from home all the time. So, I see my family a lot.
It's still different than the full-time creator life has been the last couple of months.
