Starting a Company Is Not Risky
- mgallivan 15y agoThis post draws an arbitrary line in the sand. There's risk associated with everything you do.
- diego 15y agoI should have called it "not as risky as most people believe" perhaps. Or "Entrepreneurs are not gladiators."
- mgallivan 15y agoBut in an earlier article you do admit that it is quite risky: "To put it in a different perspective: as a startup founder, you are making a very risky and non-diversified investment." You're essentially gambling your time. That's what coal miners are doing, too - it's just that their roulette wheel looks a lot different. (I do agree with your sentiment that people place a lot more emphasis on the 'glory' of their profession. That's quite commonplace, I think.)
