For many projects, if you wait until you're profitable before you jump in full time, you may never take that step. Some projects just need full-time attention to get them to the point where they pay your mortgage. Presumably (or rather, hopefully!) Emile has looked at the current revenue growth and (with the attention he can give it full-time) projected the revenue he thinks it will generate in X months, X months being the end of whatever runway bootstap/funding money he has, and has concluded that at that point he will be able to pay his wages. Statistically speaking he will fail, and I'm sure he has already thought of that and has a plan B in mind incase that happens. (Thats my devils advocate speaking, its a good idea and I have no other information about Emile, so he may very well beat the odds and I hope he does).
