There's nothing wrong with starting out now as a one man shop. If you're good on the phones, tenacious and hardworking and willing to learn, you'll find your way. It's the American dream to be an entrepreneur and I applaud you on your decision. I would recommend that you have at least a few months of savings under your belt as you build your pipeline.

And at least $10K a month for marketing, data, research, and ops costs.

When I started out I only spent $3K per month on that stuff. I worked out of a shared office space for $700 per month, I had a computer, phone and spent all day calling aged leads and UCC lists. Within 3 months I was already making decent money. But then again, I was already pretty experienced when I started my shop.

I think the competition in the marketplace has increased a tad since you started.

The Key phrase in what you said was, "I was already pretty experienced" I have to assume that you learned a whole bunch before striking out on your own. Do you think that you would be nearly as successful if you tried that same maneuver now with NO Experience?

If I had NO experience, I wouldn't dream of doing it. I think the poster at least has SOME knowledge of the business...hopefully.
