    Decision has been made!

    I have worked at my current job as a Computer Operations Specialist in the banking industry for 27 years now and making decent money, but in just over a year, we've spent thousands of dollars on professional detail training, thousands on products and equipment, and over a thousand on printed material and other advertising. Our client base is growing all the time and we are now looking at a fixed location. This Summer, we're scheduled to join the detailing team of "Air Force One" and are looking forward to a very busy season. Well, I have decided to quit my job today to go full time detailing. It's been a VERY TOUGH decision, but I'm tired of all the banking politics and just want to leave it behind me. I am now setting at my works computer, waiting for my all my bosses to come in at around 8a.m. and I'm going to drop my resignation on their desk that indicates my employment with them ends immediately. Please wish me luck in our new FULL TIME CAREER!!!! Thanks to everyone here on the forum for all the great information and inspiration to make such a drastic move out of the "Comfort Zone!"

    Re: Decision has been made!

    Congratulations on building a business big enough to allow this escape. Wish there was an emoticon for "envious"

    An immediate resignation is also pretty ballsy. I think I'd give them the typical 2 weeks just to not burn potential bridges (referrals, business, etc...)

    Congratulations!!! But please give them a two week notice just in case the economy collapses and you need a bridge back to another job.

    Congrats! I hope to do the same one of these days....my day job is really starting to get to me...actually I've been fed up with this job for about the past 8 months. I'm only holding on to it because it pays my mortgage.
