Two and a half years ago I got the chance to leave my old job and try something new. I know my situation isn't the same as yours, I was given a sum of money which made things a lot easier.

But the advice I can give you is to see this as an opportunity to do something you really love doing, or have been thinking about for years. Sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest, and financially for me it's been really difficult, but without doubt I am glad I took the chance to break out of the mould and follow a path I love to be on.

Cheers
