There are many valid points in this thread.
Seeing as how I am in the same boat as many of you, (working full-time, free lancing on the side, and dreaming of taking the leap) I have been doing some research.
A great book I read was called "The perfect business". You can find it here:

Thanks to smartalig for the recommendation!

I bought the book on your recommendation. I am in the process of reading it, and highly recommend it to anybody that is considering freelancing vs. employment. I have done both, and each has its tradeoffs.

The book is an excellent insight into the world of self employment. It is a jungle, but to quote the book "Like the tiger in the jungle, you know that freedom and success are yours if you do the right things. When was the last time you saw a tiger trying to get into a zoo?"

So two thumbs up (so far) on this book! I would be interested to hear from others who have read this book, and of other book recommendations.
