day job?

scansy, you've got to just do it. If you think about it too much, it's easy to get scared to death, and not do it. ultimately, i always wanted to be self employed...then the perfect opportuntiy came when the organization I worked for was aquired--it was the messiest, ugliest thing I'd ever been through. finally, i said enough is enough! i asked them to fire me (so the my noncompete wouldn't apply). they had no idea what I was up to, but less than one month later, I was up and running with my own company. last friday I cried alot, because so many bad things happened--but a bad day like that working for yourself, beats any good day working for somebody else. Plus, the good days on your own are so powerful and rewarding... If you're serious, get some money, put it away somewhere so it's liquid, draw up your plan, and get going. the thing to remember is that you can always go back to working for someone else--not that you'd want to, but you could if your business was a total flop. Plus, if you're married, make sure your spouse/companion believes in you, because they'll keep you emotionally floating when you feel down. what kind of business are you thinking of doing? Jerrycat
