I'm right there with you. Seriously! I work in a cube everyday and often drift away thinking there has to more to life then sitting in a box working for someone. Well I started a paint repair business and it was growing but then my wife and I started having kids. So I sold it to be around more. Well a few years later, I'm back to where I was. I SAVED big time for a few years, 7?, just for this. I bought a building and now in the process of opening a small ice cream/deli place. I can't quit my job because it pays the bills so I'll have some part-time people working for me and I'll be there evenings and weekends. Maybe I'll be able to leave my 'steady' job early and do this full time, if nothing else I may be able to retire early. Keep pressing on for your freedom/dream and don't let the nay-sayers hold you back. I've been told, don't bother/don't waste your time/you'll never make any money/you'll never make a living/etc. Yet my last 'side' business was profitable and sold for a profit and I've been told this about my current adventure. We will see! My only serious advice is to NEVER over extend your self to not being able to pay it back with your current job. I say go for it!!!
