When working for someone else, you have to jump when they tell you and you have to be somewhere at a certain time. Most people need this for the since of security but what most are failing to see is that in the end they have no security. When working for someone else they can lay you off without notice, working for yourself you are able to have security in controlling your cash flow as well as your work. On your own is a huge to step to take but if done correctly it will be worth it. As I have found it is not always glamorous, sometimes it doesn't feel worth it. Trying to quit your day job is a big step, but a step that you may like. Besides more money and better hours you are also able to have more family time which is one of the big reasons why I am making this vary decision. Go big or go home!
