Controlling all the partners at my own practice! All 3!

Status quo. In 5 years and found a job with 6 figures and normal hours. Just want to keep this job and sail into the sunset.

CFO and no less.

World domination

My own practice is a sweet dream. Not sure if feasible in this environment though

Very much is depending on the level of work you are looking for. Take a high skill set and set a niche of small businesses and high net worth individuals. Huge number of smaller real estate investors and small businesses that need good help, but are priced out of the high margins of mid to large sized firms where most of the really good expertise is. In the last year I have brought in $100k of business to a mid sized firm from attending monthly real estate investor meetings where folks are starved for real expertise. It is what made me realize the possibility of doing my own thing one day - take a few years to get moving, but with a real dedication to networking you could probably build $300-400k over a few years and work from your living room or a small office space. Add in a basic securities license to set people up for retirement plans...still very possible to get your own thing going.
