<disclaimer>I'm still in the process of starting my first business and still working for 'the man.' Take what I say with that in mind.</disclaimer> I've mulled over this question a lot. After reading all kinds of articles and books about founding a business, it seems to me that the key to becoming an entrepreneur is "just do it." Nothing will teach you more about being one than actually doing it. There is tons of GREAT advice out there but none of it will actually become applicable until you're put in a situation where you need to apply it. Finish your app, start the business on the side, and see where that takes you. Nothing like market forces to expand your comfort zone for you. If your business starts taking so much effort and time to iterate that you need to decide between your job and your business, take it as a good sign. If it fails, so what? Almost all the big name founders had at least 1 failed businesses before hitting gold-some of them had multiple failed businesses.
