Career switch - took the jump at 38

Left corporate accounting after 15 years to start my own bookkeeping service. Sounds crazy and honestly it is. Some days I'm stressed about finding clients, other days I'm pumped because I'm actually making real money and have way more time for my family. What I miss: the steady paycheck, the office gossip, the identity of being "successful." What I gained: flexibility, purpose, not hating Mondays. My kids see me more. Wife says I'm less angry. Still figuring it all out but don't regret it.
