Re:9-5 by day, startup by night. How do you cope? on Monday May 12, 2014 @05:11AM (#7731758)
Suggestion 1: try to steal time from your day job to work on your dream.

Suggestion 2: be creative and think of alternative ways of financing your startup work that are less demanding of your time. For example, find a job that pays better so you can save more for later when you want to start your enterprise.
