Thank you so much to all of you for the amazing words of encouragement. I'll always have this to look back on when I get scared, doubt my abilities and feel lost. I am so fortunate to have such an incredible support system. Thank you thank you thank you!

Whitney - you are going to do awesome things. In the short time I have known you, I have been amazed by your tenacity and curiosity and generosity. You have a great future and many people who believe you will be super successful in your pursuit of owning your own future. Having just taken the leap myself I can so totally relate to the excitement of the future and the potential of what is yet to come. I hope we can work together at some point.
best -

Hi Whitney - be true to your values, never loose your passion, and always follow your heart.

And don't be afraid to ask those friends with steady day jobs to buy lunch for a few months.

You'll do great and we can all say we knew Whitney Hess in 2008 when she made the move to go out on her own.

Best of luck!

I've had my own practice for 7 years; I mostly figure I could never do anything else.

Enjoy all the hills and valleys!

I really admire your courage but that compliment is coming from someone whose family always stressed the security of a 9-5 job. It does seem terrifying!

But it also sounds like between your parents, your education, and your job experience, that you are well-prepared & ready for this. I think your intelligence, drive & self-confidence will tip the balance towards your longterm success.

I resigned my job in June for many of the reasons you cited here. It's scary to go out on your own, but it's a good thing.

Best of luck to you!

I picture Mary Tyler Moore throwing her hat into the air with the music blaring, "You're going to make it after all!"

I have no doubt you'll do well. Congratulations and welcome to the world of Freelance. It's quite nice here. ;)
