Didnt Jeff Bezos quit his Job to start a company? His Boss called him crazy for what I heard.

There are plenty of stories of successful founders who quit their jobs to start a company.

Obviously these are the 1% but entrepreneurship is about risk taking. You just need to take a calculated risk and jump.

Maybe the idea fails but there is never true failures. All the failures give you experience and if you let that fire inside of you fuel you, you will keep trying until you succeed.

Here are the type of people who succeed:
- the risk takers
- the persistent fools who keep failing, learning, and re-trying
- the lucky ones. Being at the right place, right time, with the right skillsets
- the crazy ones who risk everything and go outside the box for something they truly believe in

Yes validate your ideas but sometimes that requires building it first.

Quit that job if you have to. Jobs take a lot of time away from us and if you believe in your idea and are okay with the risk of failure because you got what it takes to keep goin, jump!

Do what fuels you. I rather be broke doing what I love than rich working for someone else. But success is something you define. Maybe just quitting that job is winning enough 😊
