You've got a hunch. You've got the ambition. You've talked to people, and you think it might work.
But deciding to turn your back on the security of employment and the certainty of a paycheck is hard. Doubts creep into your mind, and insecurities plague your thoughts. Is this the right time to take the plunge and set up your venture? Will you be any good at it?
