Thanks for the input Tristan!

When I first got started in IT, my plan was to work for a few companies...then consult and then start a consulting agency. With the turn in the industry to offshore more and more work, I don't believe that type of model can compete. I've watched a few good consulting startups go under in 2001 and it just never seemed to recover. I think this is a good opportunity to get out and do something I really enjoy...I just have to figure out what I want to do.

I've done a career assessment (and I will try the excercise this weekend). What else should I do to start off this enterprise?
