Too often, entrepreneurs don't value the time and energy they invest in their idea. If you spend 5 years building something that doesn't work out, you've lost 5 years of investing in your career, family, etc. If it starts feeling like a bad bet, cut your losses, and get out!

Entrepreneurship is a huge risk (financially). You're giving up some of the best years of your career to focus on a bet that might not work out. The potential financial rewards should account for the risks you're taking. Don't invest 5x for a 1x financial return.

Sofware devs: Apple, Google, Amazon, and other Big Tech Cos™ are now offering Sr. Software Developers salaries of $350k - $550k USD. If you don't 200% love the idea of running your own company, optimizing your resume is probably a way better bet than becoming a founder.

A common self-delusion is: "My lifestyle is way better, so who cares about my bank balance?" Money provides security. Money provides margin. You want both: money + lifestyle. (Don't sacrifice either for the other!)

Often, being an entrepreneur means foregoing consistent promotions and opportunities in your industry. Starting a business means you're no longer climbing the corporate ladder. In many cases, those become lost years. You can't get those lost opportunities back.

Leaving a career path (and starting a business) carries this ironic risk:
If your company succeeds, your value as a potential employee goes way up!
If your company fails, and you spent years not climbing the corporate ladder, your value as an employee goes down.11 odpowiedzi 2 podane dalej 33 polubionePokaż ten wątek -

I agree that those things are shitty. But eventually, business bets need to provide financial returns. It can't be "I get the lifestyle, but sacrifice the financial." Over the long term, you're going to need financial returns.
