I am just starting this process. Luckily, my employer is helping me with the transition by contracting and working part time with them to slowly build up my business. Besides having a few good contracts as you start out, its best to find a way to transition so you don't have to the plunge without some help.
Are you planning to work from home at first?

I know some people here have made the jump and others I'm sure have thought about it. Anyone have thoughts/advise/wisdom in regards to leaving a full-time gig to start your own IT consulting company? I was thinking about targeting small businesses (<100 users). Offering several things like: - All Networking - All major server install/upgrade/support - All switches/routers/etc support - End user desktop support/upgrades - On-call support options Has anyone tried it and decided it was a bad idea? Anyone who's doing it who loves it? Anyone have thoughts?
