I have a confession - I fully agree with my previous post regarding the importance of a business blog, but if you haven't yet made the move from worker bee to queen bee, constant writing can be time consuming and detracting from your progress. As with anything in life, a balance must be struck.

I may skip a day here and there, or just refer you to an interesting article from one of the growing list of blogs that I follow, such as today's posting.

This article offers advice on making that brave transition to self-employment. As with anything, you have to find the method that works for you. For me, it was a series of events - my lease expiring, deciding to move into an apartment owned by my parents out of town, some investments maturing, frustration with my previous company, and a burning to desire to work on my personal project - all these things encouraged me to quit what I was doing and chase after my entrepreneurial dream.

Most people fear taking a risk, so you're not alone, but don't let your fears take away from making the most of your life.
