      When I realized that one fact I made efforts to get together with real people, like Warrior Lunches, and yes - even "pitch-fest" events. Don't let people convince you they are a waste. They are if you go expecting miracles, but if you go to make contact with people who understand what you do you begin to form alliances, partnerships, JV's, whatever.

      That helped me break through.

      Advantages for me:

      - I have not set my alarm clock in 2 and a half years
      - I walk my son to the bus stop every morning
      - My wife and I go to lunch whenever we want
      - No corporate B.S., meetings, politics, etc.
      - I can get my exercise in in the morning now (with the warm weather coming I like to get my bicycle ride out of the way early)

      Disadvantages:

      - Easily distracted (I had to rent an office outside my home so I could concentrate)
      - Sometimes I find myself in front of the computer 18 hours a day (depending on project load)

      That's about it. I wouldn't change a thing.
