Great choice! When experiene and passions align, fireworks ignite! Although, I have to say that you should not underestimate the passion you have for doing business and your previous choice was just as sound as this one. Combining these is like setting your compass to the true North.

Good luck and if you ever need advice on running a consulting business, let me know :-)

Also, you deliver the best results when you are doing something that you just love to do. The challenge is to find your 'sweetspot' :-) Getting feedback and reactions like yours, definitely confirms that this is the right decision. Thanks! Hi Andre, you are absolutely right.

You should get more opportunities in the future, it is never easy to say “no” but it is actually not tougher than to to say “yes” and learn yourself what really matters to you!

Nice exercice to put this thoughts on line, I appreciate your modesty and transparency, I wish I could read more often people with such values!

It also reminds me of something I read recently (not sure where anymore), but it basically said that you should stop "working" as of today. Your work shouldn't feel like work, but should more feel like a hobby or passion. Something you would do even if you weren't paid for it. So if your work, feels like work, stop doing it and find something more inline with the stuff that you really like to do.<br><br>Sounds to me you made the right decision.<br><br>Andre Hi Alex, thanks for sharing that and it sounds indeed like a good decision.

Sounds to me you made the right decision.
