Default I am an official business owner now !!

Hi everyone.
I finally registered my business, filled the online
application with the IRS, got my EIN number, and
opened a business account at my local bank.

There is still a LOT to learn, but little by little it is becoming a reality.
Now I am trying to figure out how to set up everything in QB Pro 2008.
And it is a not and easy task .
But that is for the next series of questions I am planning to ask here.

I fell great indeed, but at the same time it is kind of scary too .
I am getting closing to the point where I will have
to leave (finally ) my current job, and be my own
boss. But first I have to start making enough
money to pay the mortgage, etc. etc. and
probably it will take some time.
But hey it is another step in what I think is the
right direction.
Thank you guys for all the nice things you do to encourage others.

Well done man! Minimize all your expenses the best you can and don't make any decisions without thinking twice, just to avoid mistakes that can cost you.

Do not go full-time unless it's actually safe to do that. I got 6 months behind me now (full-time) and from what I can tell you at this point - it's twice as tough as what people tell you.

But have no fear and 'never say die'. If something happens, just get up and fight harder.

Good luck.
