Has anyone made such a transition here other than working for another company, and if so what type of business did you pursue, the obstacles you faced, the reality of day to day activities, practicalities, any pitfalls and assuming it's still active, how are things working out in the current economic downturn?
It's something I am seriously considering in the next few years once I have enough financial security to back my decision. Although timing isn't probably ideal, I'm seeing the current slump as an opportunity to invest in the financial markets next year for the medium term, then use any positive outcome to invest in property as a rental income to fund my business. I would probably look into design/marketing as my chosen business.
I will be eligible to work in Hong Kong. Would welcome any thoughts, ideas or stories that you may care to share.
