I just quit my day job

    I just turned in my two weeks notice yesterday. I'm devoting my full energies to building my own website, Project Responder's Lightbars and Sirens. Because of my ranking in the serps, I've been able to grow this business in less than five months to the point where I can leave the corporate world behind. My wonderful wife is the one who prodded me to quit sooner rather than later since I was effectively working two full time jobs.

    So anyway, I just wanted to say that thanks to the internet and to DP, I'm doing what I love!

    :D

    Well done, I just hope you have a backup plan in case something goes wrong. I wish I could just give up my day job like you. Glad to see some people can make it :).

    I'm going to check your site out right now. I wanted to wish you congrats and I need a light bar anyway so if you got good deals and shipping ain't bad then maybe we will be doing some business.

    I am impressed, although I am officially in the club of generating a profit online, i'm not anywhere near close to being at the level to actually quit my corporate job. Props to you for having the guts and the website to do so! :)
