Today i decided to stop my regular job and become a fulltime Steem developer/curator/contributor.
A risky move considering i'm no whale at all, and at it's best, a powerdown would only generate around 75$ a week.
I found myself working every spare minute on steem related projects. Mainly, Steempay.io and it's side projects, as well as helping others and teaming up to handle bigger projects. All of this is a very time and energy consuming process.
Combining this with my regular day job, got me up to a point where i'm in need of time.
Time for my family, time for my kids, time to relax, time to eat, time to sleep.
My life savings are enough to cover for the next few months focusing on nothing but Steem. At this point, i've generated some nice rewards, but every SBD i've made has been invested in the growth, quality and productivity of my work and work enviroment.
This may sounds like a bad idea - and it probably will be - but I want to let my creativity flow free without being forced to get up for work. At the same time, this will force me to deliver outstanding and unique products for this platform to have a minor source of income.
I'm aware that i may regret this decission some day, but hey. Productivity before brains!
You can support me by voting me as a steem witness (SEE LINK) or simply by following me and upvoting my posts if you like them enough!
Congratulations. It can't have been an easy decision.
I have to say you have balls to do this. Most people would never take such a chance.
Even if it seems like a bad idea I'm sure it will be a massive learning experience. I think the worst thing is not taking a chance and then later wondering what could have been.
Good luck with your witness proposal too:)

It can be a very different experience, from feeling freedom to do what you want in life to getting frustrated about the unclear future of Steem... But I am sure you won't regret it!
I had a lot of friends diving into startups/own business/freelance projects and guess what - no matter of their success, none of them are willing to return to the corporate world!

Nice one Steve. I have been thinking about a move like this for some time now but haven't gone through with it. I really really hope you'll pull it off and don't ever feel the need to get jump back in the work field in the future.
I certainly hope more of us will be able to do this as Steem(it) grows and I believe this is also one of the goals of Steemit thought by the founders themselves: Allow Steemians to have constant earnings based on the quality of the content they create.
Being a full time Steemian...what a dream job!
PS. I've already voted for you as a witness :)

It takes about 2 weeks to start to notice the harmful effects a full time wage job has on you. I thought maybe it was just every job i had before that didnt work, but I would take a good offer down the line. Well I had a good offer the other day, but of course had all the strings attached that when questioned the employer just ignored me...i lost no sleep over it. I wake every day doing exactly what I want to be doing and wouldnt change it for the world; even a six fugure income that requires me to be a slave to the whole system. Welcome aboard my friend.

I wish you the best! It will be a journey with ups and downs but I am definitely convinced that it will be a +EV decision for most aspects of your life...
PS even if steem/steemit will not be a great success as the most of us believe it will, if you stay a professional contributor to the project it will pay you some day... I have the experience from the bitshares project... The developers that didn't quit are mostly steem whales right now! Even the developers that have quit developing on bitshares are doing very well on other crypto projects right now... Their experience on bitshares gave them the knowledge and skills that are needed in the crypto world to get respected! And I think the most valuable thing you will surely get is some very nice connections with very talented and smart people that will indirectly create a path that will drive you (and them) to success..... happiness and freedom!
The only advice I can give you from now on is ....

I am actually doing that right now (but found steemit before before getting a new job). Developers like you give so much value to steemit. You have a really unique opportunity to make great apps for everyone.
Whether or not you code on steemit or on another blockchain down the road, I feel that it will pay dividends to learn how to implement this sort of technology. And coders will be in high demand if you do decide to transition back into a 9-5.

Kudos, man. I admire what you're doing, and totally get it. I knew from the first time I ever had a job, when I was 18, that I hated working for other people. It was part-time, but I was miserable at it. The first full-time job I had, at age 22, I was so dejected, feeling the world was passing me by outside that windowless office, I actually would cry on Sundays, knowing I had to go back the next day. I only lasted three months at that job, and subsequent attempts at working office jobs did not work out. I'm not suited to it, and even once, when I was totally broke, I decided I'd rather be broke than work in an office (I quit after two days on that one).
Fortunately, more flexible employment opportunities presented themselves to me like teaching and background investigating, where my day was varied and I didn't have to stay in one place the whole time. I was happier at those jobs, but still dreamed of working for myself. I went part-time with freelance writing in 2002 and full-time with it in 2010 (it was kind of full-time on and off between 2008 and 2010). But, I was still working for clients, and not TRULY myself. I was writing THEIR content.
A few months ago, I really started to become disillusioned with that job, too, even though it's one I created for myself and I get to stay home all day and make my own schedule. Most people would be thrilled with it. But, I still wanted something else, something mine.
I found that writing my first novel was a liberating experience, and I'm almost done with the second. I'm also spending a heck of a lot of time on Steemit, posting, commenting, upvoting, etc. These are things I'm doing for ME, exercising my own creativity, and writing what I want to write. I've got no one to please but myself, and the freedom of creativity is exhilarating.
I hope to be able to go full-time as a novelist soon, maybe when my second book is published in October, and my audience gets bigger. And I'd like Steemit to be part of that, too. Like you, I'm happy here, and find I'm happiest when I'm working on my own projects. I still have to write for clients right now to pay the bills, but I've actually cut down my client list considerably in the past few months, anticipating and believing that the full-time income from writing for myself, and writing the things I love, will bring me the full-time income I desire, maybe even beyond my wildest dreams.

From what consideration and research I've done about potentially living off the platform, I'm not sure posting/curation is enough. You have a unique opportunity with steempay though, as you could probably generate some revenue off of it somehow and make a living.

You will be amazed at the change in perspective. I did a similar thing about a year ago, leaving a corporate culture that I could never see myself in now. It is definitely daunting living off savings and doubting myself at times. There even have been moments of stress from the raised eyebrows of former colleagues and bosses. The time I have now is so much more now yet it seems like there is still is not enough. When you get paid watching a clock you feel productive, when you're on your own you realize that each minute that passes is gone forever. I'm convinced regular corporate jobs are mostly a product of routine, fear and pattern. It will be interesting to see how society evloves through automation - and more and more defined jobs become meaningless, seat fillers and someone to point the finger at when needed.
