I just had a meeting with one of my dad's friends, who runs one quite famous signboard posting company in Malaysia. Initially I was expecting a project or two that they can outsource but they want me to partner with them for some other project.
Thing is, as they were talking on how much more money you can earn, I can't seem to leave the company I made for the past 3 years. Technically it's not a company per say coz there's only me and some freelancers running it, but the entity is with me for the past 3 years. I've nurtured it, spend alot of money on it, got people into it, got people out of it, got it to become a Microsoft member, then to a Small Business Specialist, and now going for the Certified Partner.
It's probably then I've spent my life on this kid. I've basically fed it and hopefully watching it grow. Which is also another issue for leaving to London (previous post). It's going to get a full-time employee soon (hopefully!) and hope the company will nurture to more than myself, where I can proudly smile and see it running without me. :)
My dad's friend was saying that your first company you made is your baby, your pillow that you hold to sleep at night, and have a reluctance to let it grow, and he says that I should be thinking objectively on my business, and of my future and to let it go cause it's so small. Although very amateurish this sounds, even if I have to grow out of this pillow than i'm holding, I want to hold as long as I can.

Sorry, but you are not an unknown soul. You share the same fears and challenges many of us face in running a small IT business. You have friends across the pond pulling for you. Cheers!
