not to be a downer, but i agree this is something to keep in mind. this happened to me as well, though i didnt go into business for myself so that may help mitigate the affects for you. i loved making websites about 10 years ago. then i made it my career. because i do it 40 hours a week for my employer, i have no desire to do anything of my own, and certainly have no desire to be creative and push boundries that aren't part of my work reqs.

just a warning to know that you may kill your passion for this because you suddenly have to do it instead of want to do it. if you keep that in mind, hopefully emotional let down will be minimized.
