Is that not something you could start out doing in the weekends or your days off while you keep your day job? My thinking is it would give you time to market yourself and build a client base.
As far as working for yourself...I wish I’d have done it sooner. My business model pretty much runs itself and isn’t much different from when I was working for a company. Sure it’s more stressful, but totally worth it.
Probably the scariest thing I ever did, but in my situation I didn’t have time to “think” about it too much, an opportunity presented itself and I jumped at it. I figured worst case I could always go back to working for another company doing the same thing.
Just do it. Seriously. I would have regretted NOT doing it, and possibly failing, for the rest of my life.
