Why am I so determined to succeed in my own company?

Work on getting your company off the ground. It would suck to come home after a grueling 10+ hour day at 8:00pm at night and wonder, "Gee, what would my life have been like if I had gotten my company up and running?

Isn't now a good time to borrow starting capital anyway since interest rates are low?

Is your company making any money?

Yeah dude. unless the first 'X' in $XX,XXX starts with a '5', keep at it. You'll find someone else to hire you in the future. Keep driving for a few more months. Or are you getting homesick maybe? IDK. I'd trade places with you right now. I wish I had the balls to set out on my own and drive to random places and meet weirdos. That'd be sweet.

I do think you have a bit of the "grass is greener" syndrome though, as each of your posts in your nationwide drive thread start something like "dude XXX place is the coolest place I've seen yet." I think if you continue on your journey you'll find a place where the grass is suitably green and then you'll have your answer. Either way, good luck man.

What he said.
Keep it up, you seem to like what you are doing now.

Growing your company in 6 months? Not likely to happen. 6 years is a more reasonable outlook. Or perhaps I don't understand your expectations, but coming from someone that's been hitting his head against that wall for 8 years now, not much happens in 6 months.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. There's a strong chance I've hit every wall you're about to hit and either hurt myself or successfully broke through it. Running a business is tough, and running without a plan is like driving around Atlanta without a GPS.

East coast? I thought you moved to Boston.

Anyway, how old are you? You're probably young enough that you can make some mistakes in life and still come out okay.

From the picture he posted some time back, he looked 13-14.
But when a member asked his age, he said he was 16.

you'd be crazy not do work on your own business.

:thumbsup: Commit at least 6-7 years. They'll be points you want to quit for sure. You have to really want it, from my experience, to turn it into something very successful (unless you are really smart or really lucky I guess)
