Just Quit My Day Job!!! (after 15 years)

So I finally quit my day job!

15 years ago I started a design company called ThinkMango.com. It's morphed, grown, shrunk, changed form, and grown again...

4 years ago, I started HookUP as a side project and began growing that... Over the past 3 years, I made a conscious effort to replace myself out of everything that I did at Mango, brought on 2 partners, and kept moving more and more of my time to HookUP.com, but still running 2 companies.

Yesterday was it... I sold out my shares (took a note payable) and signed all of the paperwork to my partners leaving 100% of my time devoted to HookUP.

15 years is a long time!
Walking away and not having to think about the day to day operations of a company that's been my baby for 15 years is huge!

Thought I'd share.

Cheers,

J.
