    Man…you couldn’t have used a better example (Big Head Todd/music). I’m currently in the process of meandering the road to live my passion out via music. I also started a blog last year and have been trying to convince the world that this is possible since our team has managed to quit 9-5′s and take control of our lives by blogging and doing music. Definitely supporting numbers 3 and 10 as top don’ts. Just added this site to my blogroll. Good job. I’ll be sure to come back periodically to check out your informative posts.

    “Don’t skimp on bookkeeping” – one of my biggest mistakes! Im just now turning things over to my accountant that I should have long ago. And the funny thing – I’m not missing the money!

    4. DON’T Quit Your Day Job Until You can Reliably Replace Your Income

    That’s the one that most stuck up. I wont quit my day job until my onlin earnings is twice (or more) of my salary from my day job.

    I agree! You should NEVER quit your job until you have found something to get an income from!
