@Josh: Glad to see you’ve fixed it — my faith in your integrity has been restored. Other than that minor hiccup, I really like your site…for a very young aspiring entrepreneur, some of your articles really resonated with me. Keep at it!

@Andy Credit given where credit is due, thanks for the call out. I wrote that at the beginning of my blogging career and should have properly given due credit where inspired.

Whoa, dude…for the person who wrote “10 blogging commandments” I’m seriously surprised you would rip something off another blogger. There were entire sentences and paragraphs lifted from Steve Pavlina, who wrote this first several years ago.

Not cool, man. Not cool.

For most business owners “More Vacations” is probably the biggest joke they’ve ever heard. You have to have someone you can trust your business with while you’re gone, and those people are far and between - usually running their own business.

I can tell everyone that leaving my corporate job was the best thing I ever did!

Had a great paycheck, but hated the conference calls, traveling, headaches. So, I decided to play guitar all day longs.

Now, 2 years later, I’m getting ready to move into my new studio with 13 teachers working for me!

If you’ve been thinking about it, plan it out. Do it right to see if the numbers work for you than do it with all your heart!

Great reasons there. I suggest doing full time (learn the businesses of others) while having time for part time entrepreneurship. Sooner or later your personal business will begin to prosper and you can devote time on it. Your experiences during the full time job will be a great learning experience on what to do and what not to do. You will be able to learn from other’s people mistakes for free.

You are spot on, have to think about things like health insurance and having an emergency fund built up. I really didn’t have much of an emergency fund in place but my bills were pretty low.

Great post!
I guess the dilemma though is a balance between security and freedom. Lots of risks quitting your job but lots of opportunity too.

Thanks Marty. I completely agree. The lifestyle you create that makes you the most happy will ultimately change your life.
