Excellent story/blog. Your comments are right on and as Maria posted above you are wise for your years. I remember what I was doing when I was 26 and shudder to think about it. I'm a real estate investor/developer of 9yrs that recently was forced online in past 4mos for obvious reasons. Many learning curves but very exciting and very applicable to our real estate business. Hope to contribute some value to your blog. Erica, I found you by way of Rich Schefren (I’m a client) follow on Twitter. Excellent story/blog.

I'm a mom and a business owner in SoCal and some of the business issues, well, almost all, resonate with me. My husband and I own an IT consulting business (providing IT support to local businesses) and I face so much of what you've discussed on your blog about entrepreneurship. It's nice to know someone out there can articulate it so well and I'm impressed by your insight at your age. Even though you're retired (well, not really anymore), your posts are valuable and really resonate. In any event, like you did, we're working toward a subscription based business model since we're tired of the break-fix model which accounts for about 30-50% of our business.

You are SO incredibly wise for someone so young! I'm the same age as you and I wish I had 1/10th the wisdom you have. Sometimes I feel like I am blindly jumping off a cliff but I guess that as you mentioned you have to "set up an environment where you are not allowed to fail". Does moving back in with your parents count as that first step? Lol ;-). You probably have people telling you this all the time, but geez… You are SO incredibly wise for someone so young!
