I have made some big changes throughout my life in the last 6 months, mainly moving to a new state and taking on a new engineering role.
I'm 24 and the main reason I moved was because me, my brother, and my buddy started a business re-selling returned/overstock amazon goods by the truck load. Getting another engineering job was mainly to get me to quit my old one and make the move.
We chose our location since it made sense where some of the loads were coming from and we were familiar with the area already and had friends here also.
Business is slowly growing and have 400+ customers right now who signed up with out online auction.
I work full time 8-5PM and then get to our warehouse and work another 4+ hours daily doing inventory/organizing or cleaning up. I like holding my weight being a part owner.
These last few weeks it's felt impossible trying to keep up with my full time job and the business while still being able to have a social life.
What do you guys think? The business doesn't require cray hours to keep it running. We recently hired a couple more guys to do inventory so that will help also.
I have messed with making music, making YouTube videos, rebuilding cars/bikes and selling all my life. I think that if I off the full time job that I will be alright making funds roll in those other ways. Especially in today's day where people posting videos on YouTube are binging in crazy numbers.
I have some money saved also and have been thinking of investing in a few other ways but i have NO TIME when my job sucks 9+ hours out of me daily.
It's killing my creativity and imagination.
What do you guys think? Have you ever taken a leap and what do you suggest?
Any words of wisdom?

You are a hustler. You are always thinking and have the guts to give it a try...you have the potential to make it big.
A job working for somebody elses hustle is just that a job..you do what they want for a buck. Sometimes that serves a purpose..figure out what is best for you..staying in that job for awhile gives you a track record..in case you need it..
Think about it..mull it over for awhile and revisit to see if it still makes sense. In other words think before you jump. Think of the angles. The pros and cons. Weigh it out. Talk about it to see if you missed something.
Then there is what you might call biding your time..for the window of opportunity to open. There is a proper moment to move when everything is just right. It is called patience. Alexander waited for the moment to strike..he conquered nearly the whole world before he was 32.
It is a Darwinian world of sink or swim..nobody teaches the process of navigating your way through life...those who get the process survive and those that don't fail.
