I've always wanted to work for myself and I've had great inspiration -- my parents have owned their own very successful business since I was a child. I think you've made some excellent points here and anyone thinking about starting a business should certainly read this post! Great post about what you need to succeed in your own business.

One reason I never took my consulting business full-time was that I'm not risk-tolerant enough for it not to be stressful. When I was doing it as about 60% of my work, it was still stressful even if I was meeting/exceeding my goals. I couldn't not worry. Maybe that's something I need to work on, but I find I'm much happier running it as a side business where I can enjoy my successes and not get too hung up over my failures. If my husband had a full-time job, things might be different--who knows. It also didn't line up with my long-term career goals, though it provided me with skills that will be useful in my field later on. Great article!
