    Double check your business plan, put enough money in savings to support yourself for 6 months beyond when you think your biz will be profitable, then JUMP... and a net will appear.
    Not necessarily an easy thing to do, but well worth it.
    I've had my best nights of sleep since I quit my job and went out on my own.
