I once got a token with the following words written on it:
"Choose a job that you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." (or something like that)
This has been my guide since. I really feel terrible doing anything that I don't like. So I ended up starting a business with my friends after college and fortunately enough, it is still alive and kicking. Though of course there will be pros and cons in the decision.
Since you own your company, you're called the boss (hahaha, but just teasing you about it. ) You have to be the leader for all. As Uncle Ben said "With great power comes great responsibility." It definitely is difficult to run your own. I will have to agree with Mission Commander Swanbeck: "Mr. Hunt, this isn't mission difficult, it's mission impossible. "Difficult" should be a walk in the park for you."
You control your own pacing. This is what I love. Don't have to wake up so early in the morning. But then again, as far as what we're doing at work, you really have to work overtime. No other people will do it for you. My other personal mantra that I'm trying to kick is "If you want to get things done, you have to do it yourself." Gotta learn to delegate. But getting skilled people and doing it right is difficult as well (because probably they are also in your predicament and not very happy with work.)
Since the worldwide economy is generally not doing well, remember that instead of receiving, you are giving. It's driving me nuts having to put out so cash each month for operations and having worry if there are new projects come in. It's not for the faint hearted.
Ultimately it is up to you to make the decision. No matter how good a plan sounds, you should have a backup plan. Things don't always go as planned - no matter how good it looks in the drawing board. Taking calculated risks are also part of life. Hope what I said makes it easier,
P.S. I apologize if there are grammatical mistakes and typos. Didn't care to edit my post as it drained my mind. It made me sleepy (hahahaha...)
