The article is obviously a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there are some upsides to simply being employed. By the time my first startup was crashing, I was so happy that someone offered me a simple "Do this and you get money" option, I nearly gave them a hug after being hired.
Entrepreneurship is an emotional rollercoaster that's a blast to ride, but sometimes you need to step of in order to steady yourself for a bit.
...That said, I'm loving it this time around, and making sure I won't have to stop.
- thismat 18y agoFunny, I just wrote about this topic yesterday. I grew up in business, and I have to say, seeing my Dad change careers after 25+ years of running a fairly large business, was a relief to me. I think it's a natural part of being an entrepreneur that you're likely going to need a break now and then. Also, with two small children, insurance, a stable paycheck and dental are worth it to me. My desires to run a business can wait until the risk:reward ratio means less impact on their lives, because really, it would be selfish to punish my children for my own fun.
