Keep Good Relations

It is critical that you attempt to keep good relations with your former bosses and co-workers. Odds are you will run across them again as customers, suppliers, new co-workers, neighbors, references, or industry competitors. Regardless, you will inevitably work with other people who know them. The last thing you need is the strategic disadvantage of people souring your reputation behind your back. So you should always end relationships on positive terms and keep in touch with all contacts that may benefit you or your new company in the future.
There will always be some people in your life who will try to discourage you from quitting your secure position when you want to start out on your own.
