What is it you like about the idea of having a software business, and can you find a job that gives you that satisfaction?
I started a Linux consultancy because I was working at a large company where many of my peers were just reading the paper and taking smoke and coffee breaks, waiting for retirement. So I started a small company where my contributions mattered.
I struggled with that for 20 years, having some modest success, enjoying a lot of freedom and stretching my skills (including in things like management, marketing and sales, interpersonal, general business).
~7 years ago I got a job at a small local company that gets rid of a lot of the business stress, while still retaining a lot of the freedom.
