Re: Big decision !
I struggle with that too. I'd love to stop working.
I work in an engineering consultant company, and level of stress depends on the assignment.
Like all of us that end up with adrenal fatigue, I was always the one who would work as many hours as it took to meet a deadline.
After a very stressful 2.5 year project, I have told my boss that I am experiencing some stress related health problems (without getting into details).
I need to keep working to pay off the house, food, and of course supplements and doctor costs, save for retirement. But I am relaxing A LOT more and just not working as hard. I am out the door at 5 pm.
No more 70-80 hrs per week (not an exaggeration).
With your own business, that is tougher. You could however, possibly shrink your client base a little (get rid of the complainers!). Better a small business than no money.
Could you hirer some more help?
Whatever you do.....best of luck !
