Hey Yuri, thanks for your comments. I hope you didn't miss the point of my post, which basically gives the same advice your entire post just repeated. Not sure why you seemed to inject a bit of condescension into your last line.

The point of the post was to inform people that these three were possible pitfalls that a new self-employer could fall into, and I gave advice (the same exact advice you listed) on how to avoid them. You clearly have figured it out for yourself and seem to agree with my points, so it sounds like you agree with 3/3 of my assessment and advice. I believe you misjudged the point of my post -- it is to advise newbie self-employers, not ones who've already figured it out like yourself.

Thank you for the clarification, and sorry about the snark - I regret it now. Best of luck in your new position.

Thanks Yuri. I can see how you may have found the post inapplicable to you since you seem to have it all figured out. That said, if you have any specific feedback or additions to the advice I listed (which sounds very similar to the advice you were trying to give me in your original comment), I'd welcome it from someone with your expertise. I enjoy discussions between entrepreneurs that benefit us by adding to our best practices.
