I've been in business now for pretty much the past 5 years with a couple of on site contracts sprinkled in. A month and a half ago I made my first hire and Friday I put out local ads for a second CF/.Net developer.
Anyone who tells you owning your own business is all gory and fun is full of crap. Its hard work and instead of answering to one or two supervisors I answer to multiple clients each thinking they should be my only priority. For me, tho the benefits of owning my own company is that 1) there are zero jobs in my local that require my skills so I invented my own, and 2) my company will be as successful as I make it. It would be really cool if there was an email list for all of us who have our own businesses had an email list to ask each other questions about business related stuff.
