I guess starting a business is like heli-skiing. You know the whole … helicopter takes you to the top of a mountain and then you jump out with your ski's on, and you hope that skiing your heart out is enough to get you home safe with a wild story to tell :) I was reading a blogpost about this earlier. What an amazing feeling it must be to start all the way up there, all alone, carving your way down. It comes at a price though: You have to jump, and then there's no turning back.
With a startup, jumping is about investing lots of time, money and soul. Once you're in, there's no turning back. If you stop, you lose, if you don't stop you invest more and the price of failure just keeps increasing. I want to know if I'm ready. Will this idea work? But you never really know if you're ready. I only know that If I don't jump I can keep this dream alive and dreams are risk free … at least for a little while, until I realize I've left it too late…
