I did it was a second job I had full time. I worked 35-45 hours at it while getting my business off the ground and at least running good enough to make money. I did this for a year and half.

I haven't, but I have some warning for anyone who is a technology worker (developer, IT, designer), ageism is real in this field. Look around you, notice how everyone is in their 20s-30s, where did all the older tech workers end up? Well unless they crossed over to upper management.... they've all be laid off. Don't expect your situation to be any different when you get older. At some point you will be forced out before you're ready to retire from work because the young guys are more malleable and energetic than you are.

I actually got fired, but I managed to start working as a freelancer and I love it. I'm making good money and I have enough extra time to work on building a real business. I hope to never have to work a real job where I'm not the owner of the company ever again.
