Worst case at work

Garmin In Reach mini
Months before we head to Glacier, already envisioning the “boys” wanting to hike on their own. A second Garmin device would allow satellite tracking and texting if we are on different trails/summits. Glacier is a wild place. The wild is unforgiving. Be prepared. Bought a second Garmin GPS device a month ago.

Two choices for your own business. Quit your day job. Burn the midnight oil.

Many want to “be free” from the corporate rat race.

Quit your job, forfeit steady income and insurance, and go all-in (and walk away from your organization) like your life depends on it. It will if you do it this way. You will be tempted to (have to) make financially-based decisions versus values-based decisions.

Stay devoted to your organization and slowly and steadily build your own organization. You will work more hours and make sacrifices not required for a single career. You have the luxury of steady income and insurance. You also can make values-based decisions versus financially-based decisions.

Please remember that 95-ish percent of startups fail after a few years. Just because you think you can make it work—your odds are dismal.
