re: Personal Risk for Business Potential

Personally, not being in business for myself poses more risks to my way of life.

If I worked what you call a “regular job” I wouldn’t have the time or ability to take as much time with my family- be it a vacation, coming home early, or making extracurricular activities work. What matters most to me in the flexible lifestyle and if I didn’t have my own gig, I wouldn’t be as flexible.

Granted, it was not that way when I started. But years of busting my butt afforded me these opportunities.

I’d take a long look at where you want to be in 5-10 years and go the path that makes that happen.
