RE: Dear failing entrepreneur: What's wrong with being an employee?

in #business7 years ago

I haven't read such a painfully honest content for a long time and this one just really strikes a chord! Entrepreneurship is quite the marathon!

If we're always looking for that overnight success in exchange for countless painstaking days; Sometimes it is necessary to look back learn the lessons and count the costs.

I do hope to jump into entrepreneurship but your posts keeps my ego grounded. I don't want to be a wantrepreneuer either though haha!

Being grounded is good, @maxyong. It's good to validate the idea before you jump full time into it. In the meantime, scale down your monthly expenses and try to safe up about 6 months of runway, +20% for emergencies.

Good advise! Thanks! :)

That's the safe path.

The other, more desperate option is to get pregnant, or get someone pregnant, and you'll have 9 months to make shit work! :)
