Juliet and Rosalind – Thanks for your kind words.

As another resume writer and marketer I also could not agree more! I would also add that even if you choose to be employed by someone else, don't go for a job go for making a difference not a J-O-B. We need people who will heroically follow their purpose, who will commit to making a difference and not just earning a check. Although, my personal option was building a business around my lifestyle choices, I totally respect those who choose another option. Dawn, you are such a fabulous example of what is possible when you take the leap!

It's definitely true that for the right kind of person, entrepreneurship is perfect. I just think Seth doesn't understand that not everyone is like him.

Love the 'net will appear' mantra. You sound like a poop scooping expert, per Seth's idea. Wondering if you could go 'national?" Now THAT would be a leap. Great post, Dawn.
