I was never able to get over the fear of not having a steady paycheck. Working at a corporate job is so darn easy that I have plenty of brain power to work on my entrepreneurial ideas after dinner through the night.
Of the start-ups that have approached me my biggest issue has always been that I did not believe in their idea. To really leave the corporate job you have to believe that the idea your working for will work. As the only breadwinner of my family I cannot risk their safety for just any project.
- pchristensen 18y agoI'm in a similar breadwinner situation, but I'm not hanging on to the job for lack of an idea. I have tons of ideas, but I don't feel like I can commit the time required to make any of them succeed. 5-15 hours a week requires a dogged persistence over a long period of time. I might be able to focus on something for 6-12 months, but I think that working on something for several years with the slow progress that my time constraints would imply would drive me crazy. I guess I'm still looking for the idea that drives me through the limitations.
