Wooo!!! Burnt Out Information Technology Business Owners / Consultants Unite!

Greetings! I am Gjeret, from just outside of Milwaukee. Mid 40’s, wife, kids., business owner. I have been running an IT services Firm since 2007, have a few employees and have been profitable every year (even if it was just profitable) and.... I am tired of it. Not the tech, but the clients and the emergency calls at 2am, the Amazon affect decimating any hardware profits, and small business owners taking the advice of they Kid at Best Buy or the neighbors 13yo over the advice of an expert. The HR aspects of the business, the “work when you want” unless a client has an emergency or schedules a move. So... One of my very very very successful friends owns a software firm, as we were getting drunk at a food crawl, he confided in me that his money wasn’t from the tech, that just funded him, his money was from the stock market That has always been in the back of my mind GME got me interested enough to open a Robinhood account, then a Webull and fidelity account. Learned the hard way not to chase a meme stock, and found a saying on Reddit... Bulls make money, Bears make money, Pigs get slaughtered. I got slaughtered but, got back up, picked up a book off Amazon (day trading for a living), reading that trading was work, but there was a trainable process and was often boring ... I need some boring! That sounds wonderful! that book led me to this website, so I signed up..
