I have to tell you, I’m always surprised by the number of people who don’t leave their jobs because “I need the health insurance.”

I need health insurance too, but the simple answer is, you just go out and buy it. It’s not cheap — I pay about $1,300 a month for a family of five, and it’s my single biggest monthly expense in running my business — but it’s simply a cost to consider, not an insurmountable barrier.

Health insurance is readily available; don’t let that stand in the way of launching your own business.
