As someone seriously considering giving this a go (our consulting business is about to complete it's first year, we have built up a good war chest in the bank without any investment, and we're planning our web app right now), I would be foolish not to listen to the advice and experience (with a grain of salt) of those who have come before me and succeeded. Anything that helps me avoid mistakes that others have figured out is a good thing.
The comment above - while maybe tongue in cheek - is short-sighted to say the least.
Thanks for putting these together!
