In the Spring of 2008, I was guided to leave my job and venture out on my own. No trust fund, no sugar daddy and nothing concrete to go on. A friend of mine who was privy to the journey leading up to this bold move made a revealing remark about six months after I had left my job. In a conversation where I was asking her why she wasn't pursuing a great idea she had, she retorted, "Well, when you quit your job you knew what you were going to do."
