i have heard of this before but not with a business relation. i heard about it for extreme sports. saying it makes people more of risk takers. kinda made sense to me because i grew up around cats and have always been into anything that will give me a adrenaline rush aka dirtbikes,skatebaording,s nowboarding,bmx and such. i can see it going hand and hand tho because if you want to be successful at your own business you gotta make that jump at some point.
i know im doing it now.. quiting a pretty cush job to start my own business.
