I can relate to Titus' conundrum as I have found myself pondering the exact same scenario many times. Great article but it suffers big time from selection bias. Of course all the successful proprietors are going to say go with your passion. I'm sure you could find many times more who followed their hearts only to lose their financial stability, home, future, etc and end up with nothing but an experience. That's not to say don't do it, just realize there are serious consequences of failure.
