IMHO, the one BIGGEST risk of starting your own company is fear.

You're so right about that!

Fear... Fear and surprise... Fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... No, wait a minute, that's something else.

I need to get around my uncertainties, and move my plans forward. I know I'll never be happy "workin' for the man", but I don't want to wind up "managing" for a living either. I just want to survive by my wits alone, and prove (to myself and others) that I have "the skills to pay the bills".

I've always seen money as a means, not an end. That's a lesson I wish these "NASDQ boys" would learn.
