It's weird that it seemed like it should have been a difficult decision to make, but once I came to the conclusion that I would be happier doing my own thing the risk seemed very small. Things are going great so far by the way. @BT: Thanks for the e-mail and for the comments.

I suppose you've just arrived now. I must say I'm incredibly excited for you. I'm so glad I found this site through Steve Pavlina's link to your review (I'll be writing one as well). It takes courage to leave behind your old life and create a new one, but you've recognized the possibilities are great. This part hit be between the eyes: "I realized that I could successfully work my way up the ladder, but to what end." TO WHAT END. You got it, man! That's the real question. As time goes on, I see that Time is the only real currency there is. Namaste, BT It’s 2008.10.18. I suppose you’ve just arrived now.
