Ok, sorry to use the phrase in the wrong context. However, for many, giving up the day job is one way of commiting fully, and this means giving up their main stream of income.
I could try and tell myself that I'm fully commited to my business while only spending a few hours a week on it, but 40+ hours at work, but it doesn't feel that way.
From the 'Cultivating Burning Desire' article "For instance, if you want to launch your own business, you can begin by making the commitment to quitting your job."
What I'm interested in is the cross over point between a *commitment* to quitting your job and actually doing it. I'm trying to figure out what level of risk is acceptable for me based on the experience of others.
(and don't worry Steve, I'm not going to do anything rash just because of that one statement)
