Bill : Also, be prepared as either a founder or an employee to spend your life on it. Be prepared to give your life to the enterprise. Forget about family, forget about children, forget about your pets or your garden. It is going to be all-consuming and that’s one reason why I’m starting my startup so late. I waited until I could neglect my children without harm to them. Craig : [Laughter] How so? Bill : They’re out of the house now so I figured, “Okay, now I can do what I want.” I really like this attitude, and it's something that's on my mind too as I'm abandoning my kids by working 6 evenings a week to deliver my startup's first product. I hope there are a whole bunch of older entrepreneurs hiding in the wings, just waiting until their kids are young adults before jumping out into startup land with amazing ideas and a career's worth of experience to actually build them sensibly.
