Mark, congrats on making this transition. I’ve done it myself 6 months ago. The journey’s not easy but if you’ve the right attitude (and I definitely see it in you), a great plan, it’ll be an exhilarating ride!
Cheers,

Mark:
Congratulation! Good for you! Running your own enterprise (regardless the size) is not an easy job. It’s very joyful journey.
Be your own boss is a great challenge. You have to do everything yourself at beginning. However, when your dream start taking off, you forget all the pain you’ve had …
For me, your success is not how much money you earn from your own business. It’s how much achievement you have done! The more achievement you reach, the more money it will bring it.
Keep it up! I am watching you! ;-)
