Thanks Wordsmythe
Great advice... I definitely do want to see my business grow-- I think I would regret it forever if I threw it away this soon. I mean, a full-time job would definitely cause me to drop at least 2/3 of what I do!
Thanks for the wise words and encouragement
And congrats--I loved the article~!

Don't sell out to Corporate America unless you really need the money. Be
a gypsy and live happily!

Hmmmm.....
I would say you have to follow both your head and your heart.... If my business was taking off, I would want to put the effort in to ensure that it does grow. And if you are making enough to keep you going right now and the pay for the full-time job is going to be so small, it may be just as well to get your business off the ground. Make a list - pros and cons - that may help.
BTW, checked out one of your links yesterday and they posted my article. Exposure is good 
, but money would suit me a lot better.
See article at http://www.4infotogo.com/EarlyChildhoodDiscipline.html Tell me what you think.
Good job with this Blog. It's proving very helpful to me. Wish I'd discovered it sooner.
