Hey Martin – thanks for commenting.

The leap from full time was made easier for me because I took on a pretty solid 6 months consultancy for 2-3 days a week at the beginning. That way I could use the additional days to build my business but still know that income was going to be sorted.

Prior to that I tried very hard to get my previous employer to let me go down to 3 days a week and freelance on the remaining days but they were having none of it…
