There's a tradition that anyone seeking to convert to Judaism must be turned away 3 times. They are told only about the possible negatives. Only after they return the 4th time have they shown that they want it badly enough to be taken seriously.

Sometimes I think the same approach should be used for starting a business. OP sure tries awfully hard to emphasize the possible negatives. Hopefully, most hn readers want it badly enough to remain undaunted and keep coming back for more.

I've learned to tune out "advice" like this. My experiences in life have differed so much from what people said they were going to be like that it's hard to listen to these things anymore. You have to make your life your own, stop listening to debbie downers like the author of this article.

This isn't advice insomuch as it's a warning. Advice implies that the OP is recommending some course of action.
