B2B space, worth becoming a partner ?

for those who are selling B2B tech via partners (indirect sales) , have you ever thought of becoming a reseller partner all by yourself ? 

I see commissions ranging from 15% to 50% 

yes you lose base salary and consistent income but if you are about to loose a job (due to company structuring and already have your own pipeline - would you become partner to your own org )

what am I not seeing ?
