Ken you are right, and this is an issue I've been struggling with.

Sometime soon I will make the jump, but I am determined to make the best of
current situation. Thanks for the headsup!

Be careful.  I just picked up a very nice client from a guy who was 
working as a moonlighter.  The client experienced a huge upswing in 
business and told his evenings/weekends guy, "I don't have time for 
this, I need somebody who works during business hours."

you quit your job to go get the clients.
