I've been working up to this for a long time. Now, I'm wrestling with how to keep the cash flowing while finding enough time for my own business-building projects. But that's another blog post... Rapid, I checked out eioba.com. It seems like it could be an interesting marketing opportunity. I'll have to think about it. -TimK Hi, Rich. Thanks for the kind words.

This past March I quit my family's business after 16 years of working for my father and started my own company. (Started when I was 14 and I am 30 now) Looking back 8 months or so, I can't believe I actually did it. I too have a family and a mortgage but in hindsight, it wasn't scary at the time and I am so happy I did it. I completely agree with the naps things too, I got a bit lazy at first but now I am kicking butt and focused on supporting my family and saving for their education. Anyway, congratulations again and good luck to you. Cordially, Rich Cecere Hi Tim,

Seriously, though, I agree that a contractor is not an entrepreneur. To me, contracting is just a stepping stone on the way to entrepreneurship. By my definition, an entrepreneur is someone who is doing something different, blazing a trail. It's a myth that you need a million dollars to be an entrepreneur. But you do need to think outside the box. -TimK Hi, Jason. Hee hee.
