"If you’re not willing to give up everything for your dream, you’re not dedicated enough or your dream isn’t big enough."
Or logistically you are not in a place to do so? I have heard this very sentiment echoed more and more lately, and it feels short-sighted.
Every business or product has its own story. To claim that the above statement is a ubiquitous characteristic of successful products is patently false. While they all share a passion and desire to problem solve, not all of them require a person to set everything else aside to achieve levels of success.

A friend of mine built a business that was very much aligned with his personality and interests, but he did so in his spare time, until it was bringing in about 300K/year in profits, and he literally didn't have a spare minute more to devote to it. Only then he quit his well paying day-job.
