  a friend and i both quit our day jobs and started an agency 2 years ago. between us we had $300 in cash, 1 week worth of projects, and 10 pages of contacts we wanted to work for. we've never taken a lone, never missed a payment, and are about to turn a part-time freelancer we use into a full time employee.

  i design, he does copywriting and deals with all our clients. before i even see a job, he's got everything prepared for me.

  the 2 best things we've done so far have been getting an office, as it has given people confidence that we are real, and using an accountant.

  you can be successful. it's not an easy road - we both have families. our wives work part time jobs. our kids get our full attention when we get home. we've turned $300 into our livelihood and feed 8 mouths with it. soon to be 10. (not counting our animals)

  we both have the same regret, that we waited so long before striking out. if we had started a year or 2 earlier, we'd be ever further down the trail now.
