I saved this article and plan on re-reading it a few times.
I have kicked around for years the idea of having a small company with multiple projects. What is holding me back is not money (I have enough passive income) but that I have a difficult time letting go of my consulting business. I generally only work for very good tech'ies and I constantly get exposed to new ideas and technologies while working. Since my wife and I live in a remote area (Sedona Arizona - small town in the mountains) I rely on interactions with tech-saavy customers.
I'll probably keep doing what I do now (consulting 2/3 of my time and spend 1/3 of my time on side projects that don't have to succeed in making money).
