I am in the same predicament, but more than ever before I feel ready and brave enough to take the plunge and go independent. I think a lot has to do with how solid your potential market is.
Another thought is the timing...we are going through a world recession. My interest is trading (exports and imports)...something which is definately experiencing a slump. One way of looking at this is that a recession is a good time to write a business plan and establish oneself; if you can convince an investor to throw money or capital at your business idea, then you have a good chance of riding through the recession and coming out a winner afterwards.
