Its that "school of hard knocks" we are often looking to avoid when we go for the MBA but alas it is inevitable, eh? As for venture capitalists and angel investors, I suppose our "happy" customers will have to be that for us. Every business starts as a "mom & pop" shop! Good points all.

I love the acronyms you use. Thanks for giving for to one of my chief barriers, "ambiguity comfort". One of my mentors recently told me that one of the great opportunities of middle age is "gaining comfort with discomfort". As to your point about risk, increasingly it is risky to stay in a job (where you have one customer, your employer) versus being in a business (where you have multiple customers, your clients). Its tricky. Great post! I love the acronyms you use.

I have enjoyed reading through your blog and hearing your story. I can relate to the shock factor of why anyone would want to strike out on your own. I respect your decision especially since you have a family. Good luck on the journey! Hey Dino,
