I think every developer that wants to go out on their own has the idea to start a consulting company (I did too). I will never do it again because of the reasons listed. I also had problems getting customers to pay me on time (and some at all). Some realized we weren't a big company and figured we wouldn't have the money to go after them in court. Customers also loved to completely change the spec halfway through the project and then get angry when we tried to charge them more money.
