Corporate Slave no more!

I recently made a very risky, life changing decision. I quite my job.
Yes, I do know that the economy is doing very poorly and job loss is systemic and (imho) getting scary. But my own business is doing very well and if I don't take this chance and run with it, I just might regret it for the rest of my life.
Like most people, I do have lot's of obligations (financial, family, etc). And yet I will never forget that my first obligation is to myself. The reason for that thought isn't based on arrogance or selfishness. It comes from a very basic fact: If I succeed and do well, everyone around me will as well. But if I fail..well, we won't go there. There are lives that depend on every single things that I do. So it is more then just making money. I need to be healthy, focused, and accomplished. I need to be able to look my kids in the eyes and say, "if I can do it, so can you."
Sure, there is lots of pressure. Sure there is a lot to get done. But I know I can do this. I know it.
So, I'm taking a chance...on myself. I am a corporate slave no more!
