Do you want to join an existing startup that has promise or start your own? In both cases, you want to get a sense for how much value and potential the idea has. If you're thinking of starting your own, you should join some startup oriented meetup groups, make some friends, maybe find some cofounders who can split the load or take on other kinds of responsibilities that you'd prefer not to. Startups require effort, which takes motivation, which means you should try to get it so that you do work you actually want to do so that its easier to commit to working more and with the right attitude to make you successful.
