The 3 Biggest Emotions From Quitting My Day Job To Work On My Startup

Looking forward to that day myself! When you&#x27;re grown up and married, a startup is a different problem altogether. There&#x27;s a kind of negotiation with the spouse (mine anyway)... she agrees to let me do this, I agree to do it in a way that causes minimum financial disruption. That basically means I don&#x27;t get to quit the dayjob (that I loathe more every day) until I&#x27;m generating a functional income.<p>The need for a financial transition led to a pivot from bootstrapping to seeking funding, and the realities of seeking funding in my limited bandwidth led to a pivot back to bootstrapping, with a greatly scaled-back scope. I think I&#x27;m in a much better place now, with achievable goals. But it&#x27;s hard... in practice, I&#x27;m getting about 1&#x2F;3 the productivity of working full time, at best.
