This struck a chord with me today.
"
-I want to start my own business…
-Oh it will never work, I don’t know what it takes
...
-I guess I should just hope for that promotion at work…
-Good, that sounds safe

I decided a few weeks ago that I'd had enough at my job. Some new management came in and have really messed up a good place to work. And I missed out on that promotion...
I finally decided that I needed to do something. I've wanted to start my own business, but it takes a lot of effort, and I'd rather play with my kids. But there is time, you just need to find it.
- rkalla 15y agoI'm glad to hear you took the next step in realizing the future you want, that is exciting/scary/wonderful. What kind of business are you starting?
- slindsey 15y agoI'm just going to do software development. It's what I love. But I've always done it for a big company and I'm tired of that. I'm in the process of figuring out how I can work for myself - some software product I can sell maybe. I started learning Android development this week with the thought that I might find a little success there as a starting place. The details are fuzzy, but as the article pointed out, sometimes you just need to start.
- ido 15y agoGood luck! I'm in your shoes (well, more or less) about 6 months down the road. It's actually currently making me enough money to support myself for at least a few more months, but it's a long and stressful road, and even tho I'm making marginally enough money it's less than what I used to earn as an employee (and significantly less predictable).
