I wish you the best of luck because I know you will need it. I'd be happy to sit down with you and talk about my experience in turning pro... which I decided to do on New Years day 2003. It didn't turn out exactly the way I envisioned, but that's OK. I've kearned a lot in the process. If any of what I've kearned can be of value to you as you start out, then I'm happy to share. Eric,

You have been one of my "heroes" (pardon the expression) on Google Plus from day one, even though I miss many of you pictures due to time-zone issues. One of the top three moments in 2011 was when you first commented on one of my photos - that should tell you a lot ;-) Not to mention - that through your posts, I have this image of you as a genuinely nice bloke. I think the way you discuss your family here, proves my point! From the bottom of my heart - all the best, man. If you can't make it - the rest of us have no chance! I support the decision 100%!

I hadn't really thought of the proximity benefits which can be significant depending on where you are. It’s interesting to hear how many pros actually sleep in their own vehicles.

If the weather is OK, sleeping outside makes me feel more connected to nature.
