My dad, his girlfriend and my husband ganged up on me this morning and now I'm all excited. They're pushing me hard to start a new business. Can I do it? I already did it once, but this would be different. Should I do it? Well, businesses have a remarkable tendency to fail, but my previous one was successful.
I'm spurred on by a few things: in my field I'm considered an expert. Yes, that sounds snotty and arrogant, but somehow I learned enough about a really boring subject to be considered knowledgable. Which isn't too hard - it just takes time. Also, I hate my boss. I've never had such a terrible boss. I try not to talk about it because that tends to bring things down. But it's safe to say that, compared with my previous terrible boss, this one looks like Satan. Additionally, the company I work for as a whole sucks and the CEO is a git. Yes, a git. I've heard him speak and I don't think I've ever sat through such an unprofessional, disjointed, repetitive "speech" in my life. I got one concept out of it. And that was that he was a bad speaker.
Cons: I need health insurance. It could fail. I may need money for a designer and will eventually need other employees if I'm sucessful. It's also freakin' scary.
Hmmm. But the pros: I'd get to work from home. I wouldn't have to drive to the armpit of the world every day. I could make a hell of a lot of money. Most importantly, I could spend more time with the kid.
So far, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Crap. Hold me, I'm scared.

I'll hold your hand and tell you to "go for it!"
Though that health insurance thing does create a sticky situation. Hmmm...
I know a few website designers and graphic designers if you need some names.
