Did you post that from your boat while admiring the Toronto skyline

Nope, posted from my couch, from where I can see my boat, while watching some airplanes land.

Can't reply. Depositing my low income HST cheque. /nojoke

Regardless of my class status which is meaningless, I'll tell you #2 is the mother fucking key that took me far too long to put into place. 15 years of being self employed and #2 is the KEY to success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) incorporate a business
2) do something that makes someone rich even richer.
3) Live on a legit expense account
4) invoice for making rich person richer
5) deposit HST refund
6) profit.

I even filled in the f'in blank!

Not too long ago I was a cross roads of deciding if I should continue working a decent/safe job and do a side hustle (consulting as a contractor for small to mid sized businesses) or if I should continue climbing that corp ladder and jump ship to whoever is paying more.

At the end of the day I did kick off my little consulting gig in terms of infrastructure, I setup the website, made some calls, went out with people to get advice, build/refresh my network, reached out to agencies that held contract gigs and had the whole thing ready to go (while looking for a new job as well).
In the end for me personally it came down to one very basic variable: time. If I work 40 hours a week at my old job and the consulting is another 20, I am giving up a total of 60 hours of my time to make a secured income of XXX (provided by my stable job) and the potential of an xx% on top of that from my consulting gig (not guaranteed, depends on client, depends on market, season, etc) and that’s just billable time, doesn’t include all the time I am out there whoring myself or driving to all these different locations and on average longer commuting overall.

On the flipside, continue honing existing skillset and continue to work for someone, except take on more responsibility, but at least you are working *core* hours. Yes there is overtime here and there, but it would be NOTHING like the draining schedule of a full time job and a side hustle. Since I never planned for the side hustle to become a fulltime thing I felt my hours spend growing through a corporation was better bang for the buck and therefore more lucrative than working a less demanding job that allowed a side hustle with obviously more risky income stream.

A thousand ways to skin a cat, do whatever works for you and your situation imo.
