Yes, the Grass is Greener... but it's just as hard, if not harder, to cut.

It is fun and worth it, and hard and sometimes questionable. I, myself, can only work for myself. It is very hard for me to think about punching in on a time clock... or putting my tires in those grooves on the freeway and commuting to work. I like the 10-steps-to-my-desk commute.

I would suggest starting out slow at first and not quitting jobs until you are making more than you ae bringing in now. I would have 3 to 6 months of living expenses put away too, before going all-out.

Now, as for the third party/partner... I have only seen one partnership that has ever worked, where they didn't end up as enemies. Think that one through. I have seen the best of friends who were mortal enemies after even a short time in business together.

If you do go into it as partners... then I would make sure that each of the partner's responsabilities is written down. And, I mean everything... even down to who turns on the lights in the morning and who turns them off at night. Making that very clear up front might save some of the problems, but not all.

Good luck. Sharpen those mower blades!
