Considering an Entrepreneurial Venture? Go For It, But Have a Career Contingency Plan

In a recent WSJ Online article Alexandra Levit celebrates a Blogger’s calculated career risk taking, which seems to have paid off as she is now running her own business.  I applaud Ms. Levit for celebrating this person’s success.  As an entrepreneur myself I’m always happy to hear about others who have “made it” on their own.  That said, I think people considering “taking a career risk” must first have a career contingency plan before they do so.
