Check it out– I was invited to write a guest blog post over at my Hawaii-based cousin Monica’s blog, A Successful Woman. I talked about how I resigned from my financially-rewarding and stable job TV job to be able to sleep in ’til 11 am to pursue what I really want to do.
How I Quit My Job to Follow My Dream by Reg Silva
It’s not about Etsy per se but having the freedom to be my own boss, be happy doing the things I love doing, and being responsible for my own future instead of working senseless for The Man. Thank you to my cousin Monica for the guest post invitation!

Hi. I’ve been a fan of your work for some time but never really took the time to comment. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story! It has inspired me to reevaluate my career path and hopefully, I would someday (soon!) have the courage to take that leap of faith as well. Again, thank you!

I envy you Redge! Back in college I also used to sell notebooks, stickers, etc and I loved what I did. Pretty much how you feel now as you said in your article. I think for now I will save up some money and maybe resign from my mundane work as well to follow my dream… which is actually not related to design or illustration. =P
Thanks for sharing your story! =)
