Hi Rich,

>Interesting post, especially the part about the requirements for working for yourself. I realized several decades ago that I (1) am not self starter enough to ever work for myself or even be a good candidate for a telecommuting situation, (2) I don't have the sales skills and mentality to find the initial work, (3) I have a distinct aversion to worrying about where the next contract will come from well before my current one is finished. For all those reasons, I never even tried going out on my own. Congrats on your success.<

Good points you make - and my hat's off to you for recognizing that perhaps this type of lifestyle doesn't "fit" for you. In reality, most people can never work for themselves for sure.

But perhaps some might read these postings and think about it.
