    Well having been a post-dot-com'r, I would proceed with caution. While risk vs reward should always be your calculation, it never hurts to be adequately prepared for the worse-case scenerios. In otherwords, have a modest nest egg to fall back on in a pinch. That being said, and concerns figured out, go for it. Taking people up on opportunities leads to more doors opened.

    :)

    Good luck

    some quick advice:

    - working for yourself is great
    - working for yourself is hard and can be scarey
    - have a back up plan if you do it
    - give yourself a time frame with goals to achieve to see how it goes. This forces you to evaluate how you're going along the way and not go down a dead end path and stay there too long.

    Hey Darren,

    Yeah I know it's scary. I've toyed with the idea for several years and always arrive at the conclusion that it's too much to take on. I still feel that way but I also look and see that there is no time like the present.
