The beach again? It must be the 5th time I see the beach presented as some kind of ideal workplace and I just don't get it. I'd rather spend my time at the beach resting, swimming and reading a good book, and then get the work done in a place with consistent lighting, real mouse & keyboard, fast and stable internet, a second screen, whiteboards, etc.
Also, startups are hard. Making twice your corporate salary by working on a laptop at the beach with a spotty internet connection sounds like a scam ("my aunt makes $5000/week on the laptop") and there's a reason why it does. It's not impossible - not much is impossible with startups really - and you might just make it if you're very lucky and very talented, but you're stacking the deck against you in a game already more than difficult enough.
Finally, how are you going to fund all these travels and living expenses unless your startup is profitable from day 1? With all this money saved from the evil corporate job I guess.
This is way too black & white.
