I’ve started, invested, and sold several startups and small buisnesses.
I was alurred into “stability” by staying with the corporation that aquired a startup I was working for. It was my decision, but now I regret it.
I’ve been working tirelessly to transition back into being independent, but now I too have a family to support and the current state of health care coverage in the US is one of the biggest risks I see.
Interestingly, I’ve seen more entrepreneurs lately from countries like Canada and Norway who have founders that aren’t as stressed when compared to here in the states. I don’t have any data points to prove my hypothesis, but I often wonder if we are doing a disservice to ourselves here in the US. I guess only time well tell.
