Not having money would also probably consume you. If you have to ask some strangers on HN what to do with your life, you’re almost guaranteed to not be ready.

Not having money would also probably consume you. If you have to ask some strangers on HN what to do with your life, you’re almost guaranteed to not be ready. You’re going to have basic questions about setting up your business, insurance, contracts, payroll and HR, vendors, before you even get to your business idea. If you don’t have that all sorted out, you’re not even in the right place yet. You’ve got some homework to do before you even take any sort of dive. Maybe you’ve started a business before and don’t need to hear this, but from what I can tell, you haven’t and startups are not typical small businesses. If you don’t know how to run a simple small business before attempting to run a startup, you’re going to have a bad time. Also, I don’t know who is going to take you seriously in fundraising.
