The most common excuse is probably, "My day job pays too much, I can't quit." (Of course, I wouldn't argue with this excuse if it had less to do with money and more to do with health insurance, which is unfortunate.) But once you get fired, or finally quit, or just make that leap of faith, I think you find a way to make things happen. Thanks for sharing this one.
