For myself it was more about being happy. I hated going to work every day and was miserable sitting in a cubicle being subjected to idiotic managers.

No joke - I quit, I came home - had about $5000 in the bank, an old desktop - 7 years of web development experience and a lot of determination.

I grabbed a notepad, a pen and knocked on doors. Day in day out.

I didnt do anything fancy - and I believe anyone could do it (obviously with the right skillset)

Its just a matter of 'giving it a go'

Youre only on this planet once - you may as well enjoy it.
