So much truth in this article. We closed down our hobby business, a dance studio, after 10 years of trying to make it work, and finally come to the realisation that we can do much more without the anchor weighing us down. The truth is a passion startup often defies rational analysis, almost like why people have children, it simply fills the part of them that fears regret.
- wayanon 8y agoCan you explain that last bit please about having children? Is it that some people are motivated to have kids to block out the opportunity to fail in their own projects?
- praptak 8y agoIt's not about personal projects. It's just the fear that you will regret not having children when you reach the age when it's no longer possible. It's a shitty kind of motivation btw.
- wayanon 8y agoSo did I get it the wrong way round, people have kids so they don’t risk failing in a business?
- rpeden 8y agoNo, praptak was saying that some people start a business because they fear that if they don't, they'll look back on their life and regret that they didn't start a business, and that this is similar to the way some people decide to have children just because they fear that they'd regret not having them.
