This doesn’t make sense to me. If you plan to start a company, don’t you think that company will need 100% of your focus and time?
Pursuing several of these other “side gigs” just seems like you’ll wind up diffusing your focus, chasing competing goals and perhaps achieving none of them. And are you ready to start a company if you don’t have the liquid savings to manage through a “salary gap”?
I have liquid savings to last me two years. But I’d prefer to have some positive cash flow if it is low prep and high $$.
Nothing is absolute right? Family is a competing goal. Raising kids is a competing goal. Side gigs are competing goals. I could fail at all of them sure… but my wife, my kids, and money, are important to me and I’ve juggled more at my current job so why can’t I juggle it at my next?
