you got to yolo to do start ups

if you’re asking questions this early in the game you’re not ready

i was just like this, i’d analyze and analyze.

starting anything involves risk, business, social, legal, and financial. you won’t ever have enough knowledge to know that everything you’re doing is okay.

this means you either go for it with one, maybe both, eyes closed or keep working for someone else.

I disagree. If you can get a few people who are regularly and eagerly talking to you about your idea because they really want it, then it’s much safer to take the dive.
