I want to become an enterpreneur, but can't afford it. I'm not interested in "make money fast" schemes just for the sake of making money. I have ideas, things I want to try to build, but building my product would not happen overnight no matter how f*ing hard I work. More likely a minimum of anywhere between 6 and 12 months is required before it's feasible to start selling the product, and from there on it could take long before the income becomes a steady livelihood.

I don't have the money to pay the bills for that long, I can't afford to become an enterpreneur. BI could change my life overnight.

Try freelance, or contract work. You can be employed for yourself and making money right away without having to build a product or a business first. That's still running your own business and being an entrepreneur!

Switching from salary to contract can be a big stepping stone for creating the career and life you want :D

I disagree that you can't afford it.

I've learned how that if you can't make a business that's generating 10k / month in 3 months it's probably the wrong market. You could keep iterating through markets until one of them sticks.

That's what I'd recommend, anyway.

I'm not saying it's impossible for me to start generating money in 3 months. But merely generating money is not of interest to me. There are certain things I want to build, things I'm interested in, and these aren't things anyone's going to ship in three months starting from scratch.

Another data point: I was forced into it by economic circumstances (bills and no job). Literally EVERYBODY has this option.
