Hi Laura,

I am really very thankful to you. You have shown me a path to start my own business. I am a software engineer, and going to quit my job and start my new business. I have made a checklist for all points you have mentioned. This is very helpful.

Thanks

I think it’s a good idea to have freelance projects when you’re employed if that’s possible. Even if you love you job/career, you never know when the shoe will drop and its good to have a few things in place just in case. If you suddenly lose your job, you may not have time to start and intense job search AND start freelancing.

Thanks Laura. I like the idea of setting up hours of availability. :) Keeping that in mind, I am also thinking of using Skype as a work contact thing so I can be offline after the my set work hours are over. My normal gtalk etc can be for personal use.
