Good post – I do believe that most of entrepreneurs love the fact that they went for it. However, the scary part is _doing_ it. Getting over the heartattacks and strokes relating to starting a business- that’s the real scary part:)

Great post.

I just resigned from my job and I’m starting my own Web design business…on Friday the 13th because I like to tempt fate.

Anyway, I’m convinced that I can capitalize on this economy despite all the rumors of doom and gloom. I’m sure there are plenty of businesses who would rather have a freelancer or small business work on their projects than big firms, or even employees. There’s much less overhead to pay for.

Another thing people sometimes forget is that if you’re among the best at what you do, you’ll always be in demand. I don’t know how accurate it is to say that starting a business now is a bad idea in general. For many it is, but for them it’s a bad idea at any time.

The important thing is to make sure you’re very good at what you do before you try to do it for a living.
