I`ve been thinking about it for a year. Started planning for it over the past 2-3mnths and now I know I want to make that move of working for ME. It`s scary, but I want more than anyone else can give, so I am going to go for it. Here I am. Ready to go.

Bill.

Hey Bill :-) Good to see you here. Keep in mind that for many people, putting "me" in front of everyone and everything else just doesn`t at all go with the way they were raised. And yet, how can anyone succeed without putting themselves first?

Perhaps the reason you`ve been taking so long to reach this Most Excellent Decision has been that you`re just worried about being selfish. I`d encourage you to pick up a copy of Ayn Rand`s, "The Virtue of Selfishness," and give it a read-through.

bill,

i think ayn rand is great, especially when it comes in doses less than 1,200 pages, which she`s legendary for.

but it seems to me you`re already there. you don`t need someone to tell you to look out for yourself. you`re already doing that.

if not that, then what are you in greatest need of? support? money? the idea? the methods and smarts? you name it, and someone or something here at StartupNation is bound to provide what you`re after.

good to see you here and GREAT to have you among the rest of us entrepreneurs.
