It's so easy to say "I'll just stick with it for another year" or "I'll just take one more contract, the money is so good!" At some point, you have to jump.<br /><br />Like you, I'm in it for more than just the money. The MSC VC article is from the point of an investor, and having worked for companies that have had 'lifestyle entrepreneurs' running them, I can see why they're important to avoid (as an investor). But when it's my life, the lifestyle is more important than the money. Thanks for putting so eloquently what I’ve been planning and thinking for a long time.
