Of course you’ll probably miss that security and steady paycheck. However security is probably what’s holding you back.

If you are your only employee, don't become anti social. Get out often and socialize with others. Interacting with others will help your business grow by providing you with contacts for your business. Now that you have looked at pros and cons of being your own boss, it's time to get started.
