its not always fear of failure. Sometimes you have to pragmatic too. For instance, doing a startup in Bay area with a family is not practical for a lot of people, especially given the current rental/living expenses.
- dkersten 14y agodoing a startup in Bay area with a family is not practical for a lot of people, especially given the current rental/living expenses. That's still fear of failure, only in that case, the fear may be well founded. If they fail, they cannot feed their family, so they are afraid of failing and probably for good reason.
- jackpirate 14y agoIt's not fear of failure. It's possible that there are people who couldn't do a startup even if guaranteed 100% chance of success in 10 years due to the stress/lack of money in the mean time.
- Domenic_S 14y agoIMO the calculation in that situation is risk of ruin. The higher your financial obligations are, the more weight the ruin side of the equation holds.
