Congratulations, this is great.

"Whether you’re working on a startup, side project or contributing to a larger company, the place where you work should be a place where you go to grow, interact with people, and have fun. It should never be a place where you derive unhealthy stress, anxiety or fear. "

Good perspective as well, hopefully once your side project grows into a real company you'll recall this line for your own employees.

Somewhere between 80-99% of people do not have that luxury.

Great point, metalliqaz! Definitely something I think about a lot. I don't intend to suggest that everyone in the world should be doing this. I realize that's not possible. But for those who do have the opportunity I encourage them to.

All the more reason the rest of us starting businesses should consider it a goal.

Is the statistic that 90% of small buinsses fail? Odds are even worse, for even more effort.

100% of us die. Why bother doing anything at all, then?
